The presidency has described reports in some quarters that Zahra, daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari secured a job with the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA).

Reacting on Wednesday in a statement issued by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, the Presidency said the report was fake.

“While Zahra, just like any other Nigerian, can work wherever she secures employment, we hasten to add that the story is false in every material particular.

“The publication is untrue, malicious, and meant to cast aspersions at the First Family, since the tendentious platform claims the job was secured fraudulently.

“All people of goodwill are enjoined to ignore the hack piece, masquerading as a news story,” the statement said.
