In a statement released by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu expressed confidence in the appointment. Tinubu stated: “Barrister Ismael Ahmed brings a wealth of experience and dedication that will be vital in advancing our goal of delivering cheaper and cleaner energy solutions to our people.”
Ahmed, 45, holds a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Abuja (2005) and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 2006. He earned a master’s degree in International Relations, Communications, and Diplomacy from Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri, in 2008.
