Barely four days after he was sworn into office, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on June 2, this year, appointed former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, as his Chief of Staff. The Office of the Chief of Staff in any democratic setting is responsible for directing, managing and overseeing all policy development, daily operations and staff activities for the president.
This office coordinates and communicates with all departments and agencies of the administration. The staff of this office assists in that effort by organising the affairs of the Chief of Staff. This office is the primary coordinator of activities that seek to explain and promote the president’s policies.
In the United States for instance, this office communicates the president’s policies to the American public. The office also informs the president about the public’s concerns and interests by analysing and responding to the president’s mails, e-mails and telephone calls received over the Comment Line. In addition, the department performs individual casework and assists individuals seeking help from the Federal Government, oversees the White House Volunteer Programme, prepares presidential messages and proclamations and acknowledges gifts given to the First Family.
