Bola Ahmed Tinubu appointed Hadiza Bala Usman as the new Secretary to the Government of the Federation, making her the first woman to occupy this position in Nigeria's history.

The claim that Bola Ahmed Tinubu appointed Hadiza Bala Usman as the new Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), making her the first woman to hold this position in Nigeria's history, is supported by a strong consensus among the available sources. Although all sources are labeled as [Niet-Trusted], multiple independent mentions consistently affirm her appointment by President Tinubu and highlight her historic status as the first female SGF. There is no contradicting evidence or alternative candidate mentioned, and the reported dates cluster around mid-2025, reinforcing the timing of the appointment. While the sources lack the backing of highly trusted or official outlets, the uniformity and specificity of the information across various reports and social media posts provide sufficient grounds to accept the claim as true.
