Tinubu appoints eight advisers; Dele Alake now presidential spokesman; Nuhu Ribadu becomes security aide
President Bola Tinubu on Thursday announced eight special advisers amid efforts to fast-track the assembling of his government.
The president named retired journalist Dele Alake as special adviser on media strategy, while former anti-graft chief Nuhu Ribadu will coordinate security from the president’s office, per a statement from the State House.
Others appointed include Yau Darazo, special adviser, political and intergovernmental affairs; Wale Edun, special adviser, monetary policies; Olu Verheijen, special adviser, energy, Zachaeus Adedeji, special adviser, revenue; John Ugochukwu Uwajumogu, special adviser, industry, trade and investment; and Salma Ibrahim Anas, special adviser, health.
The individuals appeared to have been drawn from 20 special advisers approved by the Senate following a request from the president last week.
It was not immediately clear when the remaining two special advisers would be announced, and a spokesperson for the presidency did not immediately return a request seeking clarification Thursday afternoon.
