The Presidency, through Sunday Dare, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, has released a comprehensive list of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s appointments to date.

This move comes amid criticisms of alleged regional imbalance in federal appointments.

In the list, South West has 29 appointees of the President as against 24 stated by Dare.
