Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, has pledged not to disappoint his boss, President Bola Tinubu, and Nigerians.
Akume stated this on Wednesday after he was sworn in by President Tinubu at the council chamber in the presence of some government officials.
The new SGF told State House correspondents that he would discharge his duties in the interest of Nigerians.
“I assure Nigerians I will do my best, I will not disappoint the President, I will not disappoint this country and I will not disappoint my party.

“I believe Nigerians will find fulfilment in my responsibilities as I discharge that in their own interest. It is an honour to serve the country and I am strongly persuaded that guided by Almighty God, I will do my best and Nigerians will really have to reap the dividends of democracy,” Akume said.
The former governor of Benue State was the minister of Special Duties and Inter-governmental Affairs under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
After being sworn in, Akume headed to his office at the Three Arms Zone in Abuja.
He arrived at 3:30 pm and was ushered in with a performance from a local band.
Akume was received by staff, directors, and permanent secretaries in the office of the SGF.
