This was announced on Monday in a statement by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina.

Adesina said the development followed Buhari’s study of the report of the panel headed by the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), which investigated allegations against Lawal and Oke.

Adesina said in the statement that in the place of Lawal, Boss Mustapha has been appointed as the SGF.

Mustapha’s appointment takes immediate effect.
