President Bola Tinubu has revealed that his decision to appoint Dr. Bosun Tijani as Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, despite Tijani’s past criticism of him and the National Assembly, was driven by his belief in recognizing talent, even in former detractors.
The President made this known on Saturday night during a special Iftar held in his honour at the Presidential Villa to mark his 73rd birthday.
Tijani was among several dignitaries who delivered goodwill messages to the President, alongside Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and others.
