Meanwhile, Segun Akinleye, a public affairs analyst, said President Tinubu's efforts to reform Nigeria's economy are hampered by a cabinet lacking expertise.

Akinleye criticised the administration for allegedly appointing individuals based on political connections rather than professional competence.

He told Legit.ng:

“Among all the appointments made by President Tinubu, only a few competent people stand out. It's as if he moved from Muhammadu Buhari's flawed cabinet to appointing even more incompetent individuals to lead his administration.

“It's bold of anyone to assume that these appointees will bring the much-needed change.”
