This was disclosed in a statement released by the president’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja on Friday.
Both appointments took effect from May 29.
According to him, the re-appointment of the two principal officers of the administration followed the inauguration of President Buhari for the second term in office.

“To this effect, the president has approved the re-appointment of Boss Mustapha as Secretary to the Government of the Federation effective from May 29, this year.
“He has also approved the re-appointment of Mallam Abba Kyari as Chief of Staff to the President, also effective from May 29, this year.’’
The president had earlier in the week approved the re-appointment of some of his aides, including Mr Bayo Omoboriowo and Sunday Aghaeze, as his Personal Assistants on Photography.
