Libya’s Oil Minister Mohamed Aoun has launched an investigation against Mustafa Sanalla, the chairman of the National Oil Corporation (NOC), over the latter’s “refusal to hand over corporation leadership to Jadallah Al-Awkali, who was appointed by the oil ministry as the new NOC chairman last week.”
According to a document obtained by The Libya Update, Aoun cited Sanalla’s latest foreign trip, which the minister said was “unauthorized by the ministry,” as one of the reasons behind the investigation against the NOC chairman.
