(Business in Cameroon) - A decision following a Board meeting of national oil refinery Sonara held January 14, 2019 in Limbe, southwest region, has seen Jean Paul Simo Njonou appointed Managing Director of this company.

The newly promoted employee was former project manager within Sonara’s Board of Directors where he represented the Presidency of the Republic.

Jean Paul Simo Njonou replaces Ibrahim Talba Malla, who was appointed Minister of Public Procurement following the government reshuffle last January 4. Among the main challenges facing Sonara's new MD is the completion of the company's modernization project, including the acquisition of a hydrocracker to refine locally produced crude oil.

Another appointment is that of Ndoh Bertha Bakata, a special advisor at the Prime Minister's Office, as new Board Chairman. The lady who is also president of the Bakassi Development Program, which aims to make the Bakassi Peninsula sustainable, replaces former Governor John Ebong Ngolle as head of Sonara's Board of Directors.
