The presidency has confirmed that a cabinet reshuffle is imminent.
Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, revealed this to journalists at the State House on Wednesday, September 25.
Onanuga, who spoke at a press briefing, along with Senior Special Assistant to the President on Digital and New Media, O’tega Ogra, said there is no timeline as to when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will reshuffle his cabinet.
It is worth noting that President Tinubu appointed his ministers in August of last year.
Meanwhile, President Tinubu has instructed his ministers to actively promote the accomplishments of his administration. According to Onanuga, Tinubu urged the ministers to “go out there and publicize the administration’s successes”.
He noted that some ministers were hesitant to speak publicly, adding, “Many Nigerians believe the president isn’t doing much, while the government is actually making significant strides.” Tinubu emphasized that his ministers should focus more on communicating these achievements to the public.
President Bola Tinubu on Monday 21, 2004, swore in 45 ministers to a new cabinet that must get to grips with tackling the problems of sluggish growth, a weak currency and high inflation in Africa’s largest economy.
The ceremony took place nearly three months after Tinubu took office on May 29 after winning a disputed presidential election in February which is being challenged by his main opponents in court.
