The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation has issued a formal correction to media organizations over what it described as errors in the official appellation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, directing the public and press to adhere strictly to the correct title in all publications and communications.
The clarification, personally signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, stated that the correct and official appellation was: His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The statement noted that the clarification became necessary after an error was observed in the naming and appellation of the president in a national daily on May 7, 2026, and urged all media organizations to verify official titles through the OSGF’s official channels before publication to prevent such avoidable and embarrassing lapses from filtering into the public record.
