FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has appointed Mr. Sani Musa Daura as his Senior Special Assistant on Protocol Matters, reinforcing his executive team in the Federal Capital Territory Administration. The appointment was disclosed on Wednesday in a statement issued by the Minister’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka.
Sani Musa Daura is a veteran civil servant with over 30 years of experience in the FCT Administration’s Protocol Department, rising through the ranks to become Director of FCT Protocol in 2019. His new role is scheduled to take effect following his retirement from the civil service on January 24, 2026, marking a transition from his longstanding bureaucratic career into a political advisory position aligned with Wike’s leadership priorities.
The appointment reflects confidence in Daura’s deep institutional knowledge and professionalism in managing protocol functions within the FCT Administration, which plays a key role in diplomatic engagement, state functions and government interactions. Observers say the choice underscores Wike’s commitment to blending experience with governance continuity as he oversees administrative and strategic responsibilities in the nation’s capital.
