Barring any last-minute reversal of plans, the presidency on Wednesday confirmed that a cabinet reshuffle is in the offing.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, revealed this development in his first media briefing with State House Correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Onanuga, who was joined in the briefing by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Digital and New Media, O’tega Ogra, however, did not provide any timeline for when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will reshuffle his cabinet.
Onanuga confirmed that the President was indeed tinkering with the idea of rejigging his Council but declined to be specific on how soon the ministers would be moved around or dropped.
His words: “It’s true President Bola Tinubu has plans to reshuffle his cabinet, but I can’t say specifically whether that will be done before the Independence celebration on October 1.”

It is worth noting that President Tinubu appointed his ministers in August of last year.
Meanwhile, President Tinubu has instructed his ministers to actively promote the accomplishments of his administration.
According to Onanuga, Tinubu urged the ministers to “go out there and blow your trumpet and the administration’s successes.”
He noted that some ministers were hesitant to speak publicly, adding, “Many Nigerians believe the president isn’t doing much, while the government is actually making significant strides.”
Tinubu stressed that his ministers should focus more on communicating these achievements to the public.
