Tinubu Accepts Resignation of Spokesman and Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has accepted the resignation of his spokesman and Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action, Ajuri Ngelale, due to personal and health reasons. In a statement, the presidency confirmed that Tinubu understands Ngelale’s decision and sympathizes with the circumstances that led to it.

Ngelale’s resignation was received with gratitude from the president, who acknowledged the official’s efforts and dedication in serving the nation. Tinubu particularly appreciated Ngelale’s contributions to advancing national discourse and leading initiatives on climate action.

The statement also conveyed the president’s wishes for Ngelale’s full recovery and restoration to good health, particularly for his family members who are dealing with health challenges. Additionally, the presidency requested respect for Ngelale and his family’s privacy during this period.

Tinubu’s spokesman and Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action, Ngelale, has been a prominent figure in the country’s efforts to combat climate change. His resignation comes as a surprise, given his key role in shaping national climate policies. While his departure may create a gap in the government’s efforts on climate action, Tinubu’s commitment to his family’s health and well-being is admirable.

The Nigerian government is likely to face challenges in filling Ngelale’s role, given his extensive experience and expertise in climate action. However, Tinubu’s decision to respect Ngelale’s privacy during this difficult time shows that the president is committed to supporting his officials even when they are dealing with personal crises.

As Nigeria moves forward, it remains to be seen how Ngelale’s resignation will impact the country’s climate action agenda. One thing is certain, however – Tinubu’s leadership will continue to be guided by compassion, understanding, and a commitment to the well-being of his officials.
