The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, made the announcement in a statement signed by Mr. Segun Imohiosen, Director of Information and Public Relations in the SGF’s office.
“This is in line with the provisions of the Certain Political and Judicial Office Holders (Salaries and Allowances, etc) Act 2008, as amended,” Akume stated.
Before this appointment, Jami’u Abiola served as Special Assistant to the President on Special Duties in the Office of the Vice President.
President Tinubu expressed confidence in his ability to excel in his new role, tasking him to collaborate with the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“Mr. Jami’u Abiola is expected to bring his extensive expertise and experience to strengthen Nigeria’s linguistic and diplomatic engagements,” the statement added.
Jami’u Abiola is the son of Chief Moshood Abiola, widely regarded as the winner of the annulled June 12, 1993, presidential election, and Kudirat Abiola, a prominent figure in the struggle to reclaim her husband’s mandate who was assassinated during that period.
The appointment reinforces Tinubu’s close ties to the Abiola family, with observers noting his commitment to honoring their contributions to Nigeria’s democratic evolution.
