President Bola Tinubu’s Special Advisor on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, has resigned from his position with immediate effect.
Ngelale informed Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila in a memo that he intended to take an indefinite leave of absence, according to a statement released by the Presidency on Saturday.
Ngelale continued by saying that he has also resigned from his positions as Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on Project Evergreen and Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action.
The statement read, “On Friday, I submitted a memo to the Chief of Staff to the President informing my office that I am proceeding on an indefinite leave of absence to frontally deal with medical matters presently affecting my immediate nuclear family.
“While I fully appreciate that the ship of state waits for no man, this agonizing decision — entailing a pause of my functions as the Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity and Official Spokesperson of the President, Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action, and Chairman, Presidential Steering Committee on Project Evergreen — was taken after significant consultations with my family over the past several days as a vexatious medical situation has worsened at home.
“I look forward to returning to full-time national service when time, healing, and fate permit. I respectfully ask for some privacy for my family and me during this time.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
