On Wednesday in the council chamber, President Bola Tinubu swore Senator George Akume in as the new Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

In the presence of current government leaders, Akume took the oaths of allegiance and office.

Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Ahmed Lawan, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, and the spouse of the new SGF Mrs. Regina Akume were all in attendance for the swearing-in.

Last Friday, the President appointed Akume as the SGF. Sen. Ibrahim Hadejia, the former deputy governor of Jigawa State, was named as the new chief of staff, and he also named the departing Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, to the position of chief of staff.
