The Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) has transferred and reassigned seven senior officials, including the heads of key subsidiary companies, in a significant administrative reshuffle.
The reshuffle was formalised through an office order signed by BPC Secretary Shahina Sultana today (16 April).
Officials have been instructed to assume their new responsibilities immediately, with a deadline set for noon the same day. According to the order, failure to join within the stipulated time will result in an automatic release from their previous posts.
Under the reshuffle, Md Yusuf Hossain Bhuiyan, who served as the managing director of LP Gas Limited and held additional charge as senior general manager of distribution and marketing at BPC, has been appointed managing director of Jamuna Oil Company.
Engineer Md Amir Masud, former managing director of Jamuna Oil Company, has been transferred to LP Gas Limited as managing director on current duties.
Abul Kalam Azad, previously senior general manager of audit at BPC, has been named chief executive officer of Standard Asiatic Oil Company Limited. He takes over from Ferdousi Masum Himel, who has been reassigned as BPC’s general manager for distribution and marketing.
Muhammad Morshed Hossain Azad has returned to his earlier role as general manager of finance after serving as general manager of trade and operations.
Mohammad Zahid Hossain, who was attached to the BPC chairman’s office, has been posted as general manager of commerce and operations. Meanwhile, Md Jahangir Kabir, the former general manager of finance, has been given charge of general manager of audit on current duties.
The circular also assigns additional responsibilities to several officials across refinery operations, marketing, planning, and administrative functions within BPC and its subsidiaries. All concerned parties have been directed to ensure a smooth transition and full compliance with the new arrangements.
This reshuffle comes as the BPC continues struggling to import fuel, refining, and distribution amid pressure from volatility in the global energy market due to escalated tension in the Middle East.
