There are strong indications that President Bola Tinubu is preparing for an imminent cabinet reshuffle, as he has been engaging in discussions with key figures within his administration regarding the plan. A source revealed that President Tinubu held an extensive meeting on Sunday with Mrs. Hadiza Bala Usman, his Special Adviser on Policy Coordination, at his office in Aso Rock.
The discussions are believed to have focused on evaluating the performance of current ministers and the overall effectiveness of the existing cabinet. The goal appears to be a thorough assessment of government operations and the effectiveness of various ministries.
Also present during this crucial meeting were Zaccheus Adedeji, Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and Special Adviser on Revenue, and the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi. Their presence suggests that a comprehensive review of the government’s operations is underway, covering multiple sectors and administrative functions.
In addition to these discussions, it has been reported that National Security Adviser Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Musa also met with the president. This indicates that the consultations are broad in scope, involving high-level officials from various arms of government to ensure a thorough evaluation process.
A presidential source mentioned that an announcement regarding the reshuffle is expected before the end of the week. “It’s expected that before the end of the week, the President will announce a cabinet reshuffle,” the source stated.
The source further added, “There is going to be a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday, which may serve as a valedictory meeting for some of the ministers, unless the President decides to postpone the announcement.”
The anticipated reshuffle has generated considerable attention, as it may signal significant changes in the administration’s direction and priorities. Many are watching closely to see how President Tinubu’s decisions will impact the government’s performance and the delivery of his administration’s agenda.
As the consultations continue, it remains to be seen which ministers may be affected and how the reshuffle will reshape the Federal Executive Council. The outcome of these changes could have far-reaching effects on the government’s operations and its focus moving forward.
