The announcement was made in a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, titled “President Tinubu Congratulates FAAN Managing Director Olubunmi Kuku On Her Election As Vice-president Of ACI Africa.”
Mrs. Kuku’s election was confirmed during the 34th ACI Africa General Assembly, which was held in Lusaka, Zambia, from September 13 to 19, 2025.

The President also commended Kuku’s proven leadership record within ACI, recalling her previous role as Regional Advisor for Africa before she became a permanent member of the ACI World Governing Board.
