The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation says it has noted with concern the frequent error in the official appellation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by various bodies and media organisations.
In a statement personally signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, the Office urged the public and media organisations to verify official titles before publication so that such avoidable and embarrassing errors would not filter into the publications.
“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,” Akume stated.

- Instagram: OfficialOSGFNG
- X (formerly Twitter): OfficialOSGF
- Email: info@osgf.gov.ng
The statement nited that the clarification became necessary after an error was observed in the naming and appellation of the President in a publication by a national daily on Wednesday, May 7, 2026.
Such lapses, he noted, can be avoided with due verification through the appropriate sources.
