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, hitherto Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation, is now Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications, while Mr Daniel Bwala, announced last week as Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications, is now Special Adviser Policy Communications.
In a statement by Mr Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser, Information and Strategy, the Presidency explained that “these appointments, along with the existing role of Special Adviser, Information and Strategy, underscore that there is no single individual spokesperson for the Presidency.”
Daily Query reports that by this statement, all the three Special Advisers are now to collectively serve as spokespersons for the government.
The Presidency explained that this approach would ensure effective and consistent communication of government policies, decisions and engagements.
