President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, since succeeding former President Muhammadu Buhari, has taken a keen interest on the image of his government with the appointment of numerous media aides.
THE TRUTH reports that President Tinubu on Thursday added a former media aide to Atiku Abubakar, Daniel Bwala, bringing the total number to 13.
Despite the bad state of Nigeria’s economy, Tinubu has appointed more persons to his media team, further bloating the size of government at a time of general clamour for cutting down on the cost of governance.
Recall that Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, had stepped down from his position to focus on personal issues.
