Abuja: President Bola Tinubu has re-designated the positions of two recently appointed officials in the State House media and communications team to enhance efficiency within the government’s communication machinery. Mr. Sunday Dare, previously serving as the Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation, has now taken on the role of Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, this change was announced in a statement by Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser, Information and Strategy. Mr. Daniel Bwala, who was announced last week as the Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication, has now been re-designated as the Special Adviser, Policy Communication. These appointments, along with the existing role of Special Adviser, Information and Strategy, indicate that there is no singular spokesperson for the Presidency.
President Tinubu stated that all three Special Advisers will collectively serve as spokespersons for the government. This
approach aims to ensure effective and consistent communication of government policies, decisions, and engagements.
