The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) has corrected the official appellation of President Bola Tinubu following recurring errors by some organisations and media outlets.
The clarification was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the SGF, Mr Yomi Odunuga, and said to have been approved by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume.
Akume urged the public and media organisations to verify official titles before publication to avoid what he described as embarrassing and avoidable errors.
“For the record, the correct and official appellation is: ‘His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria’,” the statement read.
He advised that verification could be made through the OSGF’s official communication channels, including Facebook (@OfficeoftheSGF), Instagram (OfficialOSGFNG), X (OfficialOSGF), and email (info@osgf.gov.ng).
The clarification followed an error observed in the naming and appellation of the President in a national daily publication on Wednesday, May 7, 2026.
