Libya’s Minister for Oil and Gas, Mohamed Oun, has returned to work to continue his official duties after being on suspension for two months, pending investigations for legal violations.
He resumed work on Tuesday, the Ministry said in a brief statement.
He was suspended in March by the North African nation’s Administrative Control Agency amid an investigation it said was about “the presence of legal violations.”
The Ministry said that ACA lifted the suspension on May 12 as the investigation had ended.
‘‘Concerning the issuance of Resolution No. 347 of 2024 on 25 March 2024 by the Administrative Control Authority (ACA), which stipulates the suspension of the Minister of Oil and Gas from work in reserve for investigation reasons, and after the completion of the investigation and the issuance of Resolution No. 492 of 2024 on 12 May 2024 to lift the precautionary suspension and the end of the investigation after this date and notify the government of that.
