President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Ismaeel Ahmed as executive chairman of the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGi).
Gatekeepers News reports that Ahmed served as Senior Special Assistant on National Social Investment Programme under former President Muhammadu Buhari from 2018 to 2022.
The announcement was made in a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
