Job for the Boys!

A full list of President Bola Tinubu’s media aides has sparked reactions on social media.

Recall that on Thursday, Tinubu added a new member to his list of advisers on media-related matters.

Daniel Bwala, an ex-aide to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, was named the special adviser on public communications and media. Bwala’s appointment increased the number of Tinubu’s media aides to 13.

In a post shared on Thursday, 36 Kiniun, an X user, compiled a list of all the president’s media aides and their portfolios in the administration.

Many X users criticised the list and berated the administration for paying lip service to cut the cost of governance.

Obum, an X user, said all the appointees’ assignments are identical and described their role as “a waste”.

“These people do the same thing. Check their timelines all the same tweets. What a waste,” the tweet reads.

Streams, another X user, said the appointments are “unnecessary.”

“There are a lot of very unnecessary appointments here. One person can do like 3 of these roles and still have a lot of time on their hands. But appointment for here na reward, and that’s why you can see a lot of people on this street fighting to be seen,” the tweet reads.
