Tinubu plans cabinet reshuffle, Presidency confirms

Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu is set to reshuffle his cabinet, as confirmed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy. 

During a media briefing at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on September 25, 2024, Onanuga indicated that while the reshuffle is imminent, no specific timeline was provided, particularly regarding its completion before Nigeria's Independence Day on October 1. 

He emphasized the need for ministers to actively promote the administration's achievements, addressing public perceptions of underperformance since their appointments in August 2023.

Onanuga noted that contrary to insinuations in some quarters, the current government has recorded significant achievements in its quest to transform the economy, of which members of the public are unaware.

He noted that Tinubu has ordered his ministers to ensure they engage the public by publicising what the government is doing in their various ministries.

He said, “I don’t have any timeline. The President has expressed his desire to reshuffle his cabinet and will do it. I don’t know whether he wants to do it before October 1, but he will surely do it.”

Explaining further the reason for Tinubu’s decision, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Digital Strategy Engagement and Communications, O’tega Ogra, said it is based on empirical evidence.

Ogra noted that during the retreat that was organised for the ministers shortly after their inauguration in August 2023, Tinubu made it clear that there would be periodic reviews of their performance and that the review would guide the President’s decision.
