In a move set to redefine the trajectory of his administration, President Bola Tinubu is poised to undertake a comprehensive cabinet reshuffle, as reported by The Will Newspaper.
The impending overhaul, targeted at addressing issues of underperformance and lack of preparedness among some cabinet members, comes just months after the inauguration of the current cabinet in August. President Tinubu, expressing concern over the struggles witnessed within certain portfolios, issued a stern warning during a Cabinet Retreat held at the Conference Centre of the Presidential Villa in Abuja in November.
Addressing the attendees, the President emphasized accountability, stating, "You will sign a bond with me. If you are performing, nothing to fear. If you miss the objective, if you don’t perform, you leave us." This declaration underscored his commitment to ensuring efficiency and competence within his administration.
President Tinubu, in a bid to realign the focus of his government, assigned the task of activating the "Presidential Delivery Tracker" to his Special Adviser on Policy Coordination, Hadiza Bala Usman. This tool is expected to monitor and report the performances of cabinet members, emphasizing a results-driven approach to governance.
Sources close to the administration suggest that the ongoing corruption scandal involving two ministers, namely Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo of Interior and Dr. Betta Edu of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, may serve as a catalyst for the impending changes. The President, it is said, is considering leveraging the present controversy to implement the anticipated reshuffle, underlining his commitment to maintaining transparency and accountability in his government.
