The Presidency wishes to issue a formal apology to the Nigerian public regarding recent errors identified in the official list of federal appointments released earlier this week. We acknowledge that the list contained inaccuracies, including duplications, outdated information, and names of individuals who are no longer available for service.
These errors are deeply regretted and fall short of the high standards of diligence, accuracy, and accountability that this administration is committed to upholding. The list was released in good faith and compiled through extensive consultations across ministries, departments, and agencies. However, due to a lapse in the vetting process, certain discrepancies went unnoticed before publication.
“We take full responsibility for this oversight,” said [Presidential Spokesperson/Press Secretary’s Name]. “The integrity of our governance processes is paramount, and we understand the concerns raised by citizens and stakeholders. We are already taking swift corrective actions to address the issues.”
A revised and fully verified list will be issued shortly, and the President has directed that a thorough internal review be conducted to prevent such occurrences in the future. Those responsible for the error have been asked to provide explanations, and remedial measures are being put in place to strengthen the appointment vetting framework.
