Mr Femi Adesina, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, made this known in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday.

Adesina quoted a letter signed by Mr Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation as saying that the re-appointment of Awolowo was for another four years.

Awolowo, a lawyer and grandson of the late chief Obafemi Awolowo, was first appointed to the NEPC position in 2013.
