President Bola Tinubu has appointed Sunday Dare and Daniel Bwala as co-spokespersons alongside Bayo Onanuga in a recent restructuring of the presidency’s communications team.
The announcement was made on Monday in a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy. The statement clarified that there will no longer be a single spokesperson for the presidency. Instead, Dare and Bwala will join Onanuga as part of a collaborative team handling government communications.
Sunday Dare, previously designated as Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation, has been re-assigned as Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications. Meanwhile, Daniel Bwala, who was announced last week as Special Adviser on Media and Public Communication, will now serve as Special Adviser on Policy Communication.
The presidency explained that the shake-up aims to improve the consistency and effectiveness of communicating 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 statement read.
The new structure ensures that the three Special Advisers—Dare, Bwala, and Onanuga—will collectively act as spokespersons for the presidency. This move, according to the presidency, underscores a collaborative approach to public communication, allowing for a more comprehensive representation of the government’s voice.
