In 2014, former President Goodluck Jonathan appointed Dawha to replace Andrew Yakubu.

Before he was appointed GMD, Dawha served as the group executive director, exploration and production of the corporation.

He was director, commercial services of Eleme Petrochemical Company Limited (now Indorama) Port Harcourt in 2003 and in 2005 he was appointed managing director of Integrated Data Services Limited, Benin.

Dawha obtained a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria in 1977, a master’s of science in the same discipline in 1985.

He bagged a doctorate in chemical engineering in 1988.

Dawha’s death is coming about two months after Maikanti Baru, the immediate past NNPC GMD, died.
