President Bola Tinubu has reassigned the roles of two recently appointed officials in the State House media and communications team to improve the efficiency of the government’s communication operations.
In the new reassignment of roles, three Special Advisers are to serve as joint spokespersons for the Bola Tinubu-led administration.
The Special Advisers includes Bayo Onanuga, Sunday Dare and Daniel Bwala.
As part of the reorganization, Sunday Dare, formerly the Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation, has been appointed as the Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications. Meanwhile, Daniel Bwala, who previously served as the spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar’s Presidential Campaign Council, has been named the Special Adviser on Policy Communication.
This was contained in a statement by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Monday, November 19.
The statement reads: “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.
“The restructuring is as follows: Mr Sunday Dare – hitherto Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation is now Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications.
“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.
“Instead, all the 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.”
