Bola Ahmed Tinubu appointed Hadiza Bala Usman as SGF, and she is the first woman to ever hold that position in Nigeria. Fact check

FalseThis claim has been determined to be false based on available evidence.

Analysis

The claim that Bola Ahmed Tinubu appointed Hadiza Bala Usman as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and that she is the first woman to hold this position in Nigeria is not supported by reliable evidence. All available sources are non-trusted and contain conflicting information, with some reporting the appointment and others explicitly denying it. Notably, fact-checking sources and posts dated around June and July 2025 indicate that the appointment did not occur, and Hadiza Bala Usman remained a Special Adviser rather than SGF. Additionally, the claim that she is the first female SGF is unsubstantiated as no credible official announcement or trusted media confirmation exists. The lack of trusted sources and the presence of contradictory reports suggest the claim is false.
