Tinubu Reshuffles Media Team for Stronger Government Communication
President Bola Tinubu has approved a restructuring of the State House media and communications team to improve the efficiency of the government’s communication strategy.
According to a statement shared by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President, on his X handle, the President has re-designated the roles of two key officials in the team.
Sunday Dare, previously announced as Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation, will now serve as Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications.
Daniel Bwala, who was recently named Special Adviser on Media and Public Communication, has been reassigned as Special Adviser on Policy Communication.
This restructuring also highlights a new approach where all three Special Advisers—Media and Public Communications, Policy Communication, and Information and Strategy—will act as collective spokespersons for the Presidency.
This setup is designed to ensure consistent and effective communication of government policies, decisions, and engagements.
Sunday Dare, a seasoned journalist and former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, brings extensive experience in media relations to his new role.
Daniel Bwala, known for his sharp policy insights, is expected to enhance the communication of government policies.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
