Buhari reappoints Maryam Uwais amidst wife’s complaint

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the reappointment of Maryam Uwais as senior special assistant to the president on social investment.

Laolu Akande, senior special assistant to the vice-president on media and publicity, announced this in a statement on Wednesday.

It will be recalled that Aisha Buhari, the president’s wife, had complained that the Social Investment Programmes (SIP) being run by Uwais failed in the north.

Uwais had replied the president’s wife, saying she spoke without the knowledge of available records on SIP.

Despite his wife’s complaint, Buhari still reappointed Uwais
