President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the re-appointment of Mr Boss Mustapha as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), and Malam Abba Kyari as Chief of Staff (COS) to the President.

Senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Mallam Shehu Garba who conveyed the approval to the state house correspondents said the move was to formalize the engagement of the senior government officials.

Both appointments take effect from May 29, 2019.

The reappointments are coming twenty-four hours after the Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP approached the judiciary asking the third tier of government to compel President Buhari to reappoint his aides who are still acting in their capacities after the expiration of the first tenure of the president or sack them.
