Buhari appoints Lamido as NUPRC’s Commissioner

President Muhammadu Buhari has forwarded the name of Muhammad Sabo Lamido to the Senate as Executive Commissioner, Finance and Accounts, for the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission.

The president’s media aide, Mr Femi Adesina, confirmed this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.

• El-Rufai: Not even my corpse will be found near PDP
• Over 1,000 students displaced by Ukraine war to resume at Igbinedion University

Buhari, in a letter, addressed to President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan, said Lamido was being nominated due to the death of Hassan Gambo, who occupied the position until his demise.

He, therefore, urged the Senate to confirm the nominee “in the usual expeditious manner”. (NAN)
