The federal government has released a statement educating Nigerians on how best President Buhari should be addressed at formal functions henceforth.
Boss
Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation gave the directive in a circular sent to ministries,
departments and agencies of the federal government.
According to the circular sent
“Government has observed with concern the inconsistent manner in
which the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria is addressed during
Official and Private functions. It has therefore become necessary to
have a standard format for addressing him at such formal occasions. To
this end, Mr. President shall henceforth be addressed as ‘‘MUHAMMADU
BUHARI, PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.’’ except in purely
Armed Forces Programmes, where “COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES
OF FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA” will be added. All concerned persons
should accordingly be guided and ensure strict compliance with the
contents of this Circular.”
