President Bola Tinubu appoints retired Major General Adeyinka Fadewa as Special Adviser on Homeland Security, according to reports from multiple Nigerian outlets. The appointment is announced in a circular signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, and issued by the Permanent Secretary of the General Services Office, Dr. Ibrahim Kana, on Monday. The reports describe Fadewa as a long-serving member of Nigeria’s military and intelligence establishment, noting his decades of experience. Vanguard also reports that Tinubu creates the Homeland Security adviser role at the federal level for the first time in Nigeria’s history, indicating the position is newly established. While the outlets vary slightly in emphasis—some focusing on the creation of the role and others on Fadewa’s background—they agree on the identity of the appointee, the office (Special Adviser on Homeland Security), and the fact that the appointment is made by Tinubu and formally communicated through an official circular. The reports do not provide additional details on the adviser’s specific mandate or start date beyond the announcement.
