The Federal Government has released a new directive on how President Muhammadu Buhari should be addressed at formal functions.

This was as the President also directed ministers to inaugurate Federal Boards of agencies.

The two policies were contained in separate circulars by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Mr Boss Gida Mustapha.

“Government has observed with concern the inconsistent manner in which the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria is addressed during official and private functions. It has therefore become necessary to have a standard format for addressing him at such formal occasions,” Mustapha said in one of the circulars dated 26 January, 2018.

He said, “To this end, Mr President shall henceforth be addressed as “Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria” except in purely Armed Forces Programmes, where “Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of Federal Republic of Nigeria” will be added.

According to him the new directive indicates the president, though a retired Major General is not to be addressed by that military rank at formal functions.

In another circular dated 26 February, 2018 by the SGF, the President directed all ministers to inaugurate the boards of various parastatals under their supervision.

President Buhari had in December 2017 appointed 209 board chairmen and 1,258 board members.

The circular which directed all ministers to conclude the inauguration of the boards on or before Friday, March 9 added that the reports of the inauguration exercise were expected to reach the Office of the SGF not later than March 16.

He said the directive was given following the approval of President Buhari for the Federal Government to publish the membership of boards of parastatals under various Ministries, Departments and Agencies.

“Where the law provides Institutional Representatives should be Civil Servants not below the rank of Director in relevant MDAs, for effective reporting,” the circular said.

OK noted sir.

This is pure joblessness


Always majoring on the minor



Wasted govt

Lubbish

misplaced priority, will this reduce d rate of poverty in d country

If you like take him to River Jordan and re-baptise him
He is still "the Dullardo 1 of Daura"
This is the sh*t that happens when a whole nation agrees to be managing somebody's grandfather

He should be addresed as the lord and general saviour of Yoruba Muslims.

.

Nigerians...We adore and idolize titles too much. I once addressed someone as Mr and he was very quick at telling me he was Pastor , to me it's same as pride. It better showing who you're than telling me who you're.
Can u imagine someone bearing " The Most Reverend archbishop Apostle Dr ...." as if it's a ticket to heaven?
What's our business with the way the president is being addressed when there are other state businesses needing him to act as PRESIDENT but fail t ,He should show us he is the president not telling us...
Are we cursed with leadership problems in Nigeria?

This I guess is the biggest project accomplished by APC govt, Mr President please raise a commission to monitor those defiling this new directives, or u can raise a panel to checkmate the compliance...failed government

What's really up with this government. People are queuing up everyday to buy fuel, jobs are been lost everyday, no food to eat. What the government could concern itself about is how the president should be addressed.

: kid everywhere.

The should send that to NASS

Fulani Terrorist Mohammedu Buhari

Mr. President wants to shed Military accoutrements and recognitions in all DEMOCRATIC AND PURELY CIVILIAN ENVIRONMENTS. Good.
But Prestructuring of our 36 States is a more fitting garment for you Sir, particularly now and on and before 2019.

I came thinking that they will now address him as “Talk and do president, Mr Muhamedu Buhari”

SMH seriously

ofcourse how the Dullarrd should be addressed is something of urgent National issue...the NA should gazette it ASAP.. this is something to cheer about..Baba is moving us forward...

Awon werey people

Seriously, he is being rebaptised to gain his Confidence in the Nigerian Democracy. And I think God is paying some Attention.
Whenever he agrees openly to prestructuring, God will make him wiser.

Momodu Buhary

Buhari wants to drop 'commander in chief title" knowing fully well that degraded, defeated technically subdued book haram just went away with over 100 girls and 8 soldiers, Now people jeered at buhari Whenever they use "commander in chief" he is embarrassed, but not just resign

Ikwokrikwo:

Yorubas know Islam and Issvism more than Saudi Arabia and Rome put together. They are well integrated in Oduduwa Culture.
So you are only being silly for your pepper soup remark.

Whatever, is not reasonable. So think of prestructuring as Solution.

This is more like repeating what has been done before, President Jonathan sent out the same circular on how to address the president at public functions then so why doing same again?

So of all d pressing issues bedevilling d nation, how he is addressed is what's more important to him??

Another major achievement of buharu. Alariwo, omenka and deomello come and celebrate this achievement.

Of all the problems bedevilling the ZOO, D.O.L.L.A.R.P.O is more concerned about titles.

How does it bring back the Dapchi girls?

How does it arrest Fulani terrorists?

Or is he trying to erase history?We will never forget to he committed treason by overthrowing a democratically elected government and ruled with a suspended constitution in the 80s.

NERO FIDDLES WHILE ROME BURNS.

BUHARI FIDDLES WHILE NIGERIA BURNS.

THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN MUST SET FORTH AT DAWN
