President Bola Tinubu on Monday approved a restructuring in his media and communications team, with his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga; and new appointees — Sunday Dare and Daniel Bwala, to work jointly as his spokespersons.
The President, in a bid to ensure an effective and consistent communication of government policies, decisions and engagements, noted that his administration would have three Special Advisers who will “collectively serve as spokespersons for the government.”
The press release issued by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, states the restructuring of the media team 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.
