The Chief of Staff to the President of Nigeria is a high-ranking official who manages the Office of the President.[1] The position was created by President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999, modelled after the White House Chief of Staff; and its duties are assigned by the President but primarily focused on managing the flow of information and people; advising the president on various issues – through these roles the position wields considerable influence.[2][3]
