Following the Senate’s confirmation of Tinubu’s request for 20 Special Advisers on June 6, 2023, the appointments became effective immediately.
On June 2, 2023, Tinubu chose Ibrahim Hadejia, a former deputy governor of Jigawa State, as the chief of staff, replacing Femi Gbajabiamila, who was at the time the speaker of the house of representatives.
As Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), the President also appointed George Akume, a former governor of Benue State and recently-retired minister of special duties.
