The National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR) has appointed its Executive for Upstream Exploration, Victoria Sibeya, as Acting Managing Director following the conclusion of Ebson Uanguta’s tenure in the role.
NAMCOR Board Chairperson Florentia Amuenje welcomed Sibeya’s appointment, expressing confidence in her leadership.
“We welcome Mrs Sibeya to the helm of NAMCOR and look forward to her continued contributions as we advance the corporation’s strategic priorities,” Amuenje said.
Sibeya, who joined NAMCOR in 2006, brings nearly two decades of experience in the oil and gas sector, both locally and internationally.
Upon her appointment, she expressed gratitude for the opportunity to lead the company during a critical period.
“It is an absolute honour to be entrusted with this responsibility. I look forward to leading NAMCOR during this pivotal period and, together with our dedicated team, navigating the challenges ahead. We remain committed to driving the company to even greater heights in service of our mandate and our nation,” she said.
Uanguta, who had served as Acting Managing Director for over a year, will return to his substantive role at the Bank of Namibia.
He had been appointed in an acting capacity following the suspension of former Managing Director Immanuel Mulunga.
