Before his appointment, Dare was the former executive commissioner of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
Dare who hails from Oyo state, was also the chief of staff/special adviser on media to former Lagos state Governor Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
He will now replace former minister Barrister Solomon Dalung who served under Buhari’s first term administration.
The new minister is a veteran journalist who worked in diverse aspects of the media, including electronic and print, and spent decades in multimedia journalism, an experience which spanned for over 25 years.
