Ajuri Ngelale has been a prominent political figure in Nigerian politics, having served as Senior Special Adviser on Public Affairs to former President Muhammadu Buhari.

His role under Tinubu was seen as an extension of his deep involvement in Nigeria’s public communication sphere, where he was often praised for his articulate defense of government policies and swift responses to public concerns.

While the presidency refrained from giving further details on the nature of Ngelale’s personal or health challenges, his indefinite leave marks a significant change in the Tinubu administration’s media and communication landscape.

The public and media outlets have been urged to respect his family’s privacy as they navigate this period.

As Ngelale steps back, the presidency is expected to announce further adjustments or a possible replacement to manage its communications strategy moving forward.
