President Muhammadu Buhari has made Mr. Ben Akabueze, until now, his Special Adviser on Planning, Director General of the Budget Office of the Federation. The President also announced Mr. Tijani Mohammed Abdullahi who was the Director General of the Budget Office as his new Special Adviser on Planning.
