The National Oil Corporation (NOC) has announced the resignation of Chairman Farhat Bengdara, citing urgent health concerns.
The move comes after more than two years since his appointment in July 2022, during a shake-up that replaced longtime chairman Mustafa Sanalla.
In a statement, the NOC confirmed that Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah has temporarily appointed board member Masoud Suleiman Mousa as interim chairman. A permanent board restructuring is expected to be finalized at the next Cabinet meeting.
Bengdara had previously served as Libya’s Central Bank governor from 2006 to 2011 and as an economic advisor to Khalifa Haftar between 2018 and 2020.
