Pres. Buhari Sets To Name Chief Of Staff, Secretary To Government

The shape and faces to the Muhammadu Buhari administration will begin to unfold. Among those to be named are the Chief of Staff, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF and personal staff of the president and the vice-president.


“The announcements will be made today baring a last minute change of decision,” a source privy to the development said last night.

He added that the president’s trip to Niger and Chad may be the only factors that may delay the announcement. Meanwhile, a senior associate of the president traced the delay in the announcement of senior aides to the delay in the transmission of the handover notes by the Jonathan officials to the transition team constituted by Buhari ahead of his inauguration.


“All we have been doing since Friday is poring over these notes. This is because you need to know the position of things before you delegate the appropriate personnel to any establishment of government,” a source privy to the ongoing developments told Vanguard


Sources close to the President and the ruling APC disclosed that the president would make known
the senior officials of his government soon.
Besides the Chief of Staff and SGF, other officials to be named may include the Special Adviser to the National Assembly, Political Adviser among senior aides of the president.


The delay in the announcement of senior officials of the new administration, is due to the delay by the former officials of Goodluck Jonathan administration in forwarding their handover notes.
