The All Progressives Congress has appointed Lanre Issa-Onilu as the new national publicity secretary of the party.
Issa-Onilu’s appointment was ratified by the party’s National Working Committee in Abuja on Friday.
An aide to party chairman Adams Oshiomhole, Simon Ebegbulem, also confirmed the appointment but said Issa-Onilu would have to be inaugurated before he can assume duties.
Issa-Onilu takes over from the acting spokesperson, Yekeen Nabena, who has now reverted to his position as deputy national publicity secretary of the party.
Nabena took the spokesperson’s position in interim capacity following the resignation of Bolaji Abdullahi who defected to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
The new publicity secretary, Issa-Onilu, is a specialist in strategic public communications planning, with vast experience in corporate and political communications, crisis communication, policy analysis and development issues.
A graduate of Mass Communication from the University of Lagos, he holds MS Certificate in Integrated Marketing Communications from West Virginia University, Virginia, U.S.A.
