The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has approved the appointment of Sani Musa Daura as his Senior Special Assistant on Protocol Matters. Daura is a seasoned civil servant with about three decades of experience in public service, particularly in administrative and protocol-related roles. The appointment is seen as part of efforts to strengthen the minister’s operational and diplomatic engagements within and outside the FCT.

Sources familiar with the development say Daura’s long career in the civil service earned him a reputation for professionalism, discipline, and deep knowledge of government procedures. His experience is expected to play a key role in coordinating official engagements, managing high-level visits, and ensuring smooth protocol arrangements for the minister’s activities.

The appointment has attracted positive reactions from observers who view it as a strategic move by Wike to rely on institutional experience in running the affairs of the FCT. Analysts note that bringing in career civil servants with strong background knowledge could enhance efficiency and continuity in governance, especially at a time when the FCT is witnessing increased political and developmental attention.
