The Oil and Gas Development Company Limited appointed Mr. Wasim Ahmad as the Company Secretary, confirming his position on a permanent basis after serving in an acting capacity. The announcement follows a decision by the company's Board of Directors during their meeting on March 22, 2024, as part of a transition that initially saw Mr. Ahmad taking on the role temporarily. Mr. Ahmad's permanent appointment comes after a prior notification dated March 15, 2023, which had detailed his temporary assignment to the role following the reshuffling within OGDCL's top management.

This earlier adjustment had Mr. Ahmad filling in as the Acting Company Secretary, succeeding Mr. Ahmed Hayat Lak, who had been appointed to the office of MD/CEO. The Board's decision underscores OGDCL's commitment to stabilizing its management team and ensuring a seamless continuation of its corporate governance practices. Mr. Ahmad's appointment is effective immediately, as per the board's resolution.
