President Bola Tinubu has expressed intentions to reshuffle his cabinet, as confirmed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, during a briefing with State House correspondents on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Onanuga addressed speculation regarding the administration’s progress, emphasizing that despite public perception, the government has made substantial strides in its efforts to transform the economy. He noted that many of these achievements remain underreported or unnoticed by the general public.
To address this, President Tinubu has instructed his ministers to actively engage with the public by sharing updates on their ministries’ work and ensuring transparency regarding the government’s initiatives.
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.
