Nigeria's newly-elected President Bola Tinubu has named eight individuals as special advisers, his administration said in a statement.
The list includes a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nuhu Ribadu, who was named special adviser on security.
The position of special adviser on monetary policies went to Wale Edun, former commissioner of finance for Lagos State in Tinubu's 1999-2007 gubernatorial administration.
Another subordinate of Tinubu during his tenure, Dele Alake, was appointed special adviser on special duties, communications and strategy.
Tinubu had last week named a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, as his chief of staff and a former Governor of Benue State, George Akume, as Secretary to the government of the federation.
Ibrahim Hassan Hadejia, a former senator and deputy governor of Jigawa State, was also appointed deputy chief of staff.
The formation of the new cabinet is a continuation of the newly elected president's course of economic reforms.
Thus, Tinubu in his first day in office called for an end to the fuel subsidy that costs the government billions of dollars to keep consumer gasoline prices artificially low.
Another significant reform under the new president is the elimination of the multiple exchange rate, which experts say would boost the money supply and help stabilize the economy.
