According to a statement signed by Paul Ibe, Atiku’s Media Adviser, the elevation is in recognition of Shaibu’s unwavering loyalty, diligence, and exemplary service to the Waziri Adamawa, as well as his strategic contributions to the public communication framework of the Atiku Media Office over the years.
Mr. Shaibu was first appointed in 2018 as Atiku’s Special Assistant on Public Communication — a role in which he demonstrated outstanding competence in media relations, strategic messaging, and crisis communication.
