Tony Hayward
June 19, (PRINTWORDS NEWS) It seems that the British petroleum is in no mood to mess up anything more regarding the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. After the recent hoard of apologies that the executive officers and the Chairman of the company had to issue due to some controversial statements uttered by them, it is now moving towards some speedy change to speed up the process of oil clean up. On Friday the British Petroleum Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg announced that BP Managing director Robert Dudley will take over the position of Chief Executive officer of the British Petroleum that is at present held by Tony Hayward.

The Chairman declared the change on Friday at the Sky News television in London. Though the officials of the British Petroleum had declared early on June that Robert Dudley would be taking up the responsibilities that is being supervised and looked after by Tony Hayward gradually after the oil leak ends, it now seems that the company is in hurry to replace the executive head as reports claim that the replacement come two months before the scheduled time.
The chairman Carl-Henric Svabberg said to the media source that Tony “is now handing over the operations, the daily operations, to Bob Dudley”. However as the “The Philadelphia Enquirer” reports a British Petroleum spokesman has insisted that Hayward “was still running the spill response for now”. It also reported that London based Robert Wine has confided that “Until the acute Part of this crisis is over, until the leak is capped, Tony Hayward is still very much in charge in the response of this crisis”.
As for the change announced by the Chairman of the British Petroleum, it has been appreciated by many critics of the Company who have voiced that the company is at last taking the matter more seriously.
