Buhari yet to appoint Chief of Staff — Presidency

The presidency has denied reports
that President Muhammadu
Buhari has named his chief of
staff.

Rumours were rife on Monday
that Mr. Buhari on Monday
appointed a former military
administrator of Kaduna State,
Hamid Ali, as his Chief of Staff.
However, the president’s
spokesperson, Femi Adesina, told
PREMIUM TIMES no appointment
had been made.


“No appointment yet,” Mr.
Adesina said. He did not provide
further details on whether an
appointment would be made
soon.

Mr. Buhari has been under
pressure of late to announce his
personal staff and cabinet
positions, one month after his
inauguration.

This newspaper had reported how
the delay in the appointment of
some key personnel by the
president is slowing down the
nation’s business.
