The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation has expressed concern on the frequent error in the official appellation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by various bodies and media organisations.

In a statement personally signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, the Office urges the public and media organisations to verify official titles before publication so that such avoidable and embarrassing errors would not filter into the publications.

Akume adds that verifications can be made through the Office’s official channels, including:
– *Facebook*: @OfficeoftheSGF
– *Instagram*: OfficialOSGFNG
– *X (formerly Twitter)*: OfficialOSGF
– *Email*: info@osgf.gov.ng

The statement further notes that the clarification became necessary after an error was observed in the naming and appellation of the President in a publication by a national daily on Wednesday, May 7, 2026. Such lapses, he noted, can be avoided with due verification through the appropriate sources.
