President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed Boss Mustapha as the new Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

The appointment takes immediate effect.

His appointment is coming after the sack of the suspended SGF, Babachir Lawal, over allegations of Northeast contract scam.

Until his appointment as SGF, Mr. Boss Gida Mustapha was the Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA).
