What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has appointed Dr David Ogong as the new chairperson, replacing Dr Peter Kimbowa, whose three-year term ended on September 1.

Speaking at his inauguration in Kampala yesterday, Dr Ogong, a seasoned strategy, planning, and regulatory executive with more than 15 years of experience in driving growth in the communications industry and capital markets, said it was a privilege to provide oversight to members' savings, which NSSF holds in trust, noting that he will largely rely on teamwork to ensure that the Fund meets the challenges ahead.

He has previously worked as the director of market supervision at Capital Markets Authority and as director of competition, corporate and consumer affairs, and finance and ICT at Uganda Communications Commission (UCC).

He holds a Global MBA from Oxford Brookes University (UK), a masters of science and bachelors in accounting and finance from London South Bank University, UK.

NSSF also indicated that Secretary to the Treasury Ramathan Ggoobi joins the board, replacing Deputy Secretary to the Treasury Patrick Ocailap to represent Ministry of Finance, which supervises the investment decisions of the Fund, while Aggrey David Kibenge, the Gender permanent secretary joins to represent the ministry.
