The attention of the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) has been drawn to news currently circulating on social media and some online news platforms, on the purported appointment of Yomi Odunuga as Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

In a statement released by the Director, Information & Public Relations, Segun Imohiosen, it’s reads: The office wishes to set the record straight that the SGF has at no time made such an appointment, nor has any statement been issued from the Director, Information and Public Relations confirming the same.

For the avoidance of doubt, appointment of Special Advisers at the Federal level is the sole prerogative of the President and the Commander-in- Chief of the Armed Forces.

The public and media organisations are hereby advised to disregard the circulation of these unverified claims, which appears to be the work of some individuals with the intent of misleading the public for selfish gains, and to rely only on verified information officially released and duly signed by the Director of Information and Public Relations, OSGF.
