The appointment of Mohammed Lawan Buba as Chairman of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency, PPPRA, has been announced by the Federal Government.
Buba’s appointment was disclosed in Abuna on Wednesday by Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal, after a meeting with leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, to review issues involved in the new pump price of petrol recently announced by the government.
According to Lawal, President Muhammadu Buhari approved the appointment of Buba after he expressed willingness to serve on the board.
The PPPRA board has the statutory role of determining and fixing the prices of petroleum products, but it has not been constituted for over four years.
Buba is a former Director General of the Petroleum Products Marketing Company, PPMC, and also a former Group Executive Director of Commercial and Investment at NNPC.
