President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to reshuffle is cabinet as he charged his ministers to speak about the activities of their ministries.
This was disclosed on Wednesday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to Onanuga, Tinubu gave the directive in the last Federal Executive Council meeting.
“The President has expressed his desire to reshuffle his cabinet and he will do it. I don’t know whether he wants to do it before October 1 and he will surely do it. That is what I will say, but he has not given us any timeline,” spokesperson Bayo Onanuga told journalists.
He further revealed that some ministers are expected to be dropped while some may be moved to other ministries.
Mr Onanuga added that the “President has given an order to all his ministers at the last Federal Executive Council meeting to go out there and speak about the activities of his administration.”
“Some of them have been media shy, television shy, radio shy, and he wants them to overcome all that and go out there and speak about what they have been doing.”
The development, according to Onanuga, came as a result of public’s feeling that the government is not doing enough.
“Because the feeling out there is that the government is not doing enough and the government has been doing a lot. And it is up to them to go out there and blow their own trumpet. They should go out there and talk about what their ministries have been doing,” He said.
President Tinubu’s cabinet boasts of 45 ministers who were approved by the National Assembly out of the 48 names he presented for appointment.
