Senate Approves Tinubu’s Appointment Of 20 Special Advisers…
Written by City Radio on June 6, 2023
The Senate on Tuesday approved President Bola Tinubu’s appointment of 20 Special Advisers.
This came after the President’s letter to the Upper Chamber requesting the approval.
However, the letter read by Senate President Ahmad Lawan during plenary session did not have the names of the special advisers attached.
The appointment comes barely a week after the President was sworn in last Monday.
Last Friday, Tinubu also announced the appointment of the Speaker of House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, as Chief of Staff, while Sen. Ibrahim Hassan Hadejia, a former Deputy Governor of Jigawa State, was named Deputy Chief of Staff.
In a meeting with the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), the President also named a former Governor of Benue State and immediate past Minister of Special Duties, George Akume, to serve as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
Gbajabiamila’s new position was confirmed, bringing an end to weeks of speculation.
Accepting the appointment, he thanked Tinubu and promised to give his best when he assumes office on June 14.
