President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Temitola Adekunle-Johnson as Special Adviser to the President on Job Creation & MSME (Office of the Vice President) and Uju Anwuka as Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Health (Office of the Vice President).

The appointments are part of ongoing efforts to actualize the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Tinubu administration, particularly in their respective sectors.

Prior to their new roles, Adekunle-Johnson and Anwuka held similar positions, serving as Senior Special Assistant and Special Assistant to the President, respectively, in the Office of the Vice President.

As Senior Special Assistant, Adekunle-Johnson played a key role in advancing the administration’s policies and programs related to job creation and the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria. Notable initiatives under his supervision include the Expanded National MSME Clinics and the Shared Facility Initiative.

Anwuka, meanwhile, has been instrumental in driving the administration’s efforts to combat malnutrition and hunger, particularly in vulnerable communities. As Special Assistant, she oversaw key projects, including the recently launched Nutrition 774 Initiative.

Their new appointments as Special Adviser and Senior Special Assistant, respectively, take effect immediately.
