President Tinubu’s approach to appointing heads of agencies in Nigeria has sparked conversations around religious and ethnic diversity. Tinubu has aimed to create a balance among different groups, especially between Christians and Muslims, given Nigeria’s religious diversity. In some cases, he has appointed individuals from various backgrounds to ensure that no group feels sidelined. This balance reflects Tinubu’s attempt to respect the country’s diversity while also prioritizing competency and regional representation.

However, the appointments have sometimes faced public scrutiny, with critics arguing about perceived imbalances or favoritism toward certain regions or religions.
