The newly appointed Senior Special Assistants (SSAs) will be responsible for Presidential Zonal Community Engagement. Their primary role is to interact directly with Nigerians within their respective zones to discuss and explain the President's economic policies and programs.
This initiative seeks to bolster direct communication between the government and citizens, ensuring that the President's policies and programs are clearly understood and effectively implemented across the country. By doing so, President Tinubu aims to foster greater transparency and accountability in governance.
Why Tinubu appoints liaison aides
The UK chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) disclosed this in a tweet, adding that the appointees are tasked with returning to their communities to promote a better understanding of the President's policies and gather public feedback. This initiative aims to ensure effective communication of government programs and integrate citizen input into policy development.
By doing so, the aides will serve as a bridge between the government and citizens, facilitating two-way communication and ensuring that policies are developed with Nigerians' needs and concerns in mind. This approach seeks to enhance citizen engagement and participation in governance.
