Seun Onigbinde, the co-founder of BudgIT, has been appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari as a Technical Adviser in the Ministry of Budget and National Planning.

YaahooJournalist reports that the Communication Associate of BudgIT, Shakir Akorede, confirmed the news to The PUNCH on Friday in a telephone conversation.

The Communication Associate of BudgIT said, while the news was true, it had nothing to do with BudgIT which is still dedicated to holding government accountable.

Akorede said, “It’s true, however, I need to point out that this has nothing to do with BudgIT. As you may recall, Seun has been absent from the company for some time. This is a situation that affects Seun as a person, nothing to do with BudgIT.

“This is in his personal capacity as a Nigerian,” Akorede insisted.

The new Technical Adviser in the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, who was a strong critic of President Buhari, co-founded BudgIT, a social enterprise dedicated to calling for fiscal transparency in government.
