SGF Inaugurates Inter-Ministerial Presidential Inauguration Committee

The Federal Government has inaugurated an Inter-Ministerial Presidential Inauguration Committee for the swearing-in ceremony of President Muhamadu Buhari as he begins his second term on May 29.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, who is the chairman of the committee, performed the inauguration on Thursday in his office in Abuja.

Addressing the members, Mr Mustapha stressed the need for the committee to ensure strong collaboration with other sub-committees.
