Life

Yakubu attended the Government College in Keffi from 1969 to 1973, obtaining a West African School Certificate.^[5] Thereafter, he attended the College of Arts and Science in Zaria until 1975, when he entered the Ahmadu Bello University there, studying chemical engineering.^[1] After graduating with a BA in 1979, he served various roles in refineries before becoming executive director of operations at NETCO in March 2005. In addition to his education in chemistry, he received a certificate in Strategy and Organization from Stanford University's Graduate School of Business Studies. He left his NETCO role in December 2006 to work at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, first as general manager and ultimately as managing director and CEO. He assumed the role several months after a national fuel crisis in Nigeria, when the NNPC was widely perceived as a corrupt organization,^[5] and oversaw changes within the national institution until he was removed during President Jonathan's regime on allegations of insubordination. Yakubu’s intervention led to the gas supply to the Nigerian market growing from 300 million cubic feet per day (mcfpd) to 1500mcfpd, of which 70% was dedicated to support the power sector. He sustained stability in the supply and distribution of petroleum products across the country, with Nigeria’s three refineries running efficiently during his tenure. He streamed Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCC) in Kaduna refinery, Port Harcourt FCC was operational, while Warri refinery was also on stream through the efforts of the in-house experts he engaged.

He was eventually relieved of his duties by the then Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke.

Contrary to report President Goodluck Jonathan did not relieve Engineer Andrew Yakubu of his appointment as the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) based on corruption. Yakubu was perceived to have been removed due to infighting between him and the powerful Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, who was behind his removal.

Although the president did not give any reason for his removal, President Jonathan, however, sent a letter to Yakubu, thanking him for his service.

Yakubu has contributed to various charity projects in multiple churches and organizations across Nigeria. Over the years he has continually supported the needy by way of donations, sponsorship and scholarships for the poor using his foundation.

^[5] On 3 February 2017, a huge amount of cash (USD 9.7 Million and GBP 72,000) was found in a residence belonging to him in the city of Kaduna, Nigeria by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) team.^[7] Andrew Yakubu reported to the commission’s zonal office in Kano and made a statement wherein he admitted ownership of the money, claiming it was "gifts" from unnamed persons.
