Pakistan State Oil (PSO) has appointed Abdus Sami as its interim Chief Executive Officer, effective March 31, 2026, as the company moves to ensure leadership continuity pending the appointment of a permanent chief executive.
The key development is the board’s approval of the interim arrangement at its meeting held on March 30, 2026, under which Abdus Sami will continue to hold his existing role as Chief Supply Chain Officer in addition to taking over as CEO.
According to the company’s disclosure to the Pakistan Stock Exchange, the appointment will remain in place until further orders or until a regular CEO is named.
The move comes at a critical time for Pakistan’s largest oil marketing company as global oil markets remain volatile amid heightened geopolitical tensions and supply uncertainties in the Middle East.
The interim appointment is expected to support operational continuity and strategic decision-making, particularly in supply chain management and fuel distribution, areas that remain central to PSO’s market position.
The development was disclosed in compliance with stock exchange regulations to keep investors and the market informed.
