President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Mr. Idris Ajimobi as the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Livestock Development (Office of the President).
This appointment comes in the wake of the recent inauguration of the Presidential Committee on Implementation of Livestock Reforms and the establishment of the new Ministry of Livestock Development.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, announced this in a statement issued on Saturday titled “President Tinubu Appoints Senior Special Assistant on Livestock Development.”
Ngelale noted that President Tinubu aims to “harness and develop Nigeria’s agricultural potential, including the animal husbandry ecosystem, to spur sustainable economic growth, create industries and jobs, and eradicate violent conflicts between farmers and herders over time.”
Ngelale further stated, “The President expects efficient coordination and liaison on matters relating to this critical sector.”
In addition, President Tinubu has approved the appointment of Senator Bashir Mohammed as the Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters (Office of the President).
However, Mohammed is an experienced politician and businessman from Kano State, formerly serving as a Senator representing Kano Central and as the Director-General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons.
President Tinubu described Mohammed as someone whose “immense experience will foster enhanced synergy between the Executive and the Legislature, leading to improved government performance.”
