BP chief Tony Hayward to leave post

BP confirmed on Monday that CEO Tony Hayward will leave his post in October, RIA Novosti reports.
Hayward has worked for BP for 28 years and has been director for the past three years. He has come under intense criticism since a blast on a BP oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico in April. 
Media reports on Monday said that Hayward would be made a non-executive director at the Russian-British joint venture TNK-BP.
Hayward will be replaced at BP by American Bob Dudley, a former TNK-BP head.
