The Senate has approved President Bola Tinubu’s request to appoint 20 special advisers.

The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, read the president’s request on the floor of the upper legislative chamber on Tuesday.

In the request, the president did not disclose the identity of the 20 special advisers.

But after the letter was read, the senate approved the request.

This is coming after Tinubu was officially inaugurated as the 16th President of Nigeria.
