Sunday Dare and Daniel Bwala have been approved as co-spokespersons with Bayo Onanuga by President Bola Tinubu in a fresh shake-up in his cabinet.
A statement shared by the Special Adviser to the President (Information and Strategy), Bayo Onanuga late Monday, said there is no longer a single person as the president’s spokesperson, adding that both Sunday Dare and Daniel Bwala will henceforth, jointly serve in the office of the presidency as spokespersons.
Dare who was Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation has a new designation as Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications.
It further stated that Bwala who was announced last week as Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication, is now Special Adviser of Policy Communication.
The presidency explained that the shakeup is aimed at ensuring effective and consistent communication of government policies, decisions, and engagements.
“President Bola Tinubu has re-designated the positions of two recently appointed officials in the State House media and communications team to enhance efficiency within the government’s communication machinery.
“The restructuring is as follows: 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.”
