As the tenure of President Bola Tinubu progresses, a wave of anticipation grips the political landscape, with whispers of imminent changes brewing within the corridors of power. In an exclusive revelation, sources close to the presidency have disclosed that President Tinubu is poised to take decisive action against non-performing ministers come July 2024.<\/p>\n

Recall that Ministers and other top officials in Tinubu\u2019s administration have signed performance pledges, committing to achieve specific goals in each sector of the economy after the 2023 Cabinet Retreat in November 2023. With a mandate anchored on the promise of prosperity and progress, his administration has set ambitious targets aimed at addressing the multifaceted challenges facing Nigeria.<\/p>\n

However, amidst the fervent efforts to steer the nation towards a path of growth and development, concerns have arisen regarding the performance of certain ministers within the federal cabinet. Reports of bureaucratic inertia, inefficiency, and lackluster performance have prompted calls for a comprehensive review of ministerial portfolios.<\/p>\n

According to insiders privy to the president’s plans, March has been earmarked as the timeline for a ministerial reshuffle aimed at weeding out underperforming individuals and injecting fresh vigor into key government departments. While the specific details of the impending shake-up remain closely guarded, it is understood that President Tinubu is unwavering in his commitment to accountability and results-driven governance.<\/p>\n

Insider sources say the Special Adviser to the President on Policy and Coordination, Hadiza Bala-Usman has submitted a report on Cabinet performance to Tinubu in January. According to the sources, the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu; Minister of Marine & Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola; Minister for Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye; and Minister of Health & Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate are allegedly said to top the list of non-performing ministers.<\/p>\n

The prospect of a ministerial overhaul has sent ripples of speculation throughout the political landscape, with stakeholders eagerly awaiting the unveiling of President Tinubu’s revamped cabinet. With expectations running high, analysts anticipate a rigorous selection process, with emphasis placed on competence, merit, and a track record of tangible achievements.<\/p>\n

For President Tinubu, the decision to wield the axe on non-performing ministers underscores his administration’s unwavering commitment to fulfilling the aspirations of the Nigerian people. With the nation at a critical juncture, marred by economic challenges, security threats, and social unrest, there is a pressing need for decisive leadership and effective governance.<\/p>\n

The Abuja City Journal<\/em> approached Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, for comment on the matter. As of the time of writing, he has yet to react to our correspondent’s inquiries and repeated calls.<\/p>\n

There are also allegations that some of the ministers on the verge of being fired have agreed to stage disruption as part of a strategy to persuade the president not to terminate their employment. According to sources in the Department of State Services (DSS), the Service is fully aware of the plans to take advantage of the country’s current socioeconomic challenges. To confirm this development, Abuja City Journal contacted Dr. Peter Afunanya, Director of the Directorate of Public Relations and Strategic Communications of the DSS, who declined to comment.<\/p>\n

As the countdown to July begins, all eyes are on President Tinubu as he prepares to usher in a new era of accountability and excellence in governance. With the fate of ministers hanging in the balance, the impending reshuffle signals a bold step towards realizing the vision of a prosperous and vibrant Nigeria under his leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
