The Senate has approved President Bola Tinubu’s request to appoint 20 special advisers.
Senate President Ahmad Lawan read the president’s request on the floor of the upper legislative chamber on Tuesday and it was approved through a voice vote during plenary.
The identities of the 20 special advisers were not disclosed in the request.
“Because there is no name for special advisers we will just approve it from here. We feel that that this is something of utmost urgency,” Lawan said.
This is coming a few days after Tinubu made his first appointments.
