President Bola Tinubu is set to reshuffle his cabinet, according to the presidency. This move is likely aimed at addressing the performance issues of some ministers, who have been criticized for not effectively communicating the administration’s achievements to the public ¹.
In a recent Federal Executive Council meeting, Tinubu urged his ministers to be more proactive in sharing their accomplishments with the public. He emphasized that despite significant policy initiatives, not enough has been done to showcase these successes ¹.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, confirmed the impending reshuffle, stating that Tinubu has already hinted at his plans. However, Onanuga did not provide a specific timeline for the reshuffle, leaving many ministers uncertain about their future ¹.
Key Reasons for the Reshuffle:
- Performance Issues: Some ministers have been criticized for their poor performance ¹.
- Lack of Public Engagement: Ministers have been accused of not effectively communicating the administration’s achievements to the public ¹.
- Policy Initiatives: The administration wants to highlight its significant policy initiatives ¹.
What to Expect:
The cabinet reshuffle is expected to take place soon, potentially before Nigeria’s Independence Day celebration on October 1 ¹. The presidency has not disclosed which ministers will be affected or what changes will be made.
