Nigeria’s president, Bola Tinubu on Monday, November 18, 2024, re-designated the positions of two recently appointed officials in the State House media and communications team.

The president stated that the change in positions were made to enhance efficiency within the government’s communication machinery.

In a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser, Information and Strategy, Sunday Dare, the hitherto Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation, is now Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications.

Mr Onanuga said, “Mr Daniel Bwala, announced last week as Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication, is now Special Adviser Policy Communication.

“These appointments, along with the existing role of Special Adviser, Information and Strategy, underscore that there is no single individual spokesperson for the Presidency,” he said.

He said that all the three Special Advisers would collectively serve as spokespersons for the government.

He said this approach would ensure effective and consistent communication of government policies, decisions and engagements.
