Full list of Ministers in Tinubu’s cabinet
Bola Ahmed Tinubu intends to reorganize his cabinet in the near future, according to confirmation from the Presidency.
A performance report that has been objectively gathered will serve as the basis for this evidence-based reorganization.
This development was disclosed on Wednesday, during a media briefing held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja by Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Advisor for Information and Strategy.
Joining Onanuga at the briefing, O’tega Ogra, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Digital and New Media, did not provide a specific timeline for the reshuffle but hinted that an announcement could be made later this week.
Insiders who spoke with the Guardian noted that the long-anticipated changes were postponed following the conclusion of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Monday.
“It’s true President Bola Tinubu has plans to reshuffle his cabinet, but I can’t say specifically whether that will be done before the Independence celebration on October 1,” Onanuga stated.
The President appointed his ministers in August 2023.
