Fuel Subsidy: Time For PMB To Relinquish Petroleum Minister’s Porfolio

President Muhammadu Buhari, having been Petroleum Minister in the 70s where refineries were built under his watch and also chairman of the successful Petroleum Task Fund (PTF) under the regime of the late Sani Abacha, has a good knowledge of the Petroleum industry.

I believe that must have informed his decision to take on the role as the Minister of Petroleum. The model was first adopted by former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo when he kept the Petroleum Ministry to himself.
