While Adesina will serve as the Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity), Shehu will be the new Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity).

According to a statement made available to journalists by Shehu, the President also approved the appointment of Mallam Lawal Kazaure as the State Chief of Protocol (SCOP).

The statement did not indicate the job schedule of Adesina and Shehu as their two offices appear similar.

Apart from being the current President of NGE, Adesina is the Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of The Sun newspapers.

Shehu was the President of the NGE 16 years ago.

Kazaure is a career Foreign Service official and currently serves in Aso Rock Villa as a Special Assistant (Presidential Matters).
