SGF Clarifies President Tinubu's Official Title Error

On May 7, 2026, Yomi Odunuga, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, issued a formal correction concerning the official title of President Bola Tinubu. The correction was prompted by a recurring error in media outlets that misrepresented Tinubu's title.

Odunuga clarified that the person signing the statement was George Akum, who urged media organizations to verify official titles to prevent embarrassment and maintain accurate records. The communication emphasized the importance of using appropriate official sources for verification.

This clarification was disseminated through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation's official communication channels, including Facebook and Instagram. The necessity for this correction arose from an observed error in the public description of the President's title.
