President Bola Tinubu has announced a major restructuring of his cabinet, reshuffling key ministries and merging some departments. This move comes after the president expressed concerns about the performance of some of his ministers, particularly their reluctance to effectively communicate the government’s achievements to the public. The reshuffle, which has been anticipated for weeks, is intended to enhance the performance of his administration and ensure that the government’s successes are better highlighted to Nigerians.
The restructuring involves the merging of several ministries and the scrapping of two, as well as the reassignment of ministers to new roles. This reshuffle is seen as part of Tinubu’s broader strategy to streamline government operations and improve service delivery. While details on which ministers will be affected are still unfolding, performance and communication skills are expected to be key factors in determining the reshuffle outcomes.
The president’s decision comes just over a year after his ministers were appointed in August 2023, and the changes are seen as a reflection of his commitment to better governance and accountability.
