Full List: 9 senior government officials sacked by Tinubu within 24 hours

President Bola Tinubu is not done with sacking top government officials and appointing new ones six months after resuming office.

Some of the affected senior government officials were appointed by ex-president Muhammadu Buhari's administration.

In what looks like a takeaway as the yuletide period approaches, President Tinubu has sacked no less than nine beneficiaries of the former president.

The affected senior government officials included heads of government agencies, parastatals and directors in the aviation and aerospace development ministry. According to the Presidency, the development was in line with Nigeria's constitution and his renewed hope agenda. The nine senior directors were the latest that Tinubu will sack since resuming office about seven months ago.
