President Tinubu’s Appointment of 400-Level Uni Ibadan Student to Presidential Advisory Committee.
President Bola Tinubu’s recent appointment of Orire Agbaje, a 400-level Economics student at the University of Ibadan, to the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms has ignited a wave of reactions across social media.
The decision to involve a student in such a high-level advisory committee has stirred debates about the appropriateness of the appointment.
Critics argue that President Tinubu’s choice to appoint a student who is still pursuing her education instead of someone with a completed academic journey raises concerns about experience and qualification.
Many Nigerians believe that there are other qualified and unemployed youths who could have filled the position effectively. This has led to accusations of bias on the President’s part when making appointments.
The appointment took place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja and was announced by the Special Assistant to the President on social media, Olusegun.
He disclosed that Miss Orire Agbaje, who is also the President of the Nigerian Universities Tax Club, has joined the newly inaugurated Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms. Notably, the committee is chaired by Taiwo Oyedele, a former Fiscal Policy Partner and Africa Tax Leader at PriceWaterhouseCoopers.

President Tinubu’s choices for ministerial nominees have also faced criticism, with people like former Governor of Rivers State Nyesom Wike and El Rufai making the list. These selections have fueled debates about the overall strategy and intentions of the President.
The online reaction to Orire Agbaje’s appointment has been swift and intense. Social media platforms have been flooded with opinions from both sides of the spectrum.
Supporters of the appointment highlight the potential fresh perspectives that a young person could bring to the committee, while critics emphasize the need for seasoned experts in such crucial decision-making roles.
