Suhail stepped down amid investigations into an oil theft and money laundering case involving FSM.
Fatimath Ashan has been appointed as the Managing Director of Fuel Supply Maldives (FSM), a subsidiary of the State Trading Organisation (STO).
Ashan's appointment marks the first time a woman has been named the head of an STO subsidiary.
