Legit.ng reports that calls for the reshuffling of President Tinubu’s cabinet reached new levels in the wake of Nigeria’s dwindling economic fortunes which have worsened the living standards across the country.
Tinubu heeded the calls in October, dismissing five ministers and nominating seven others. Those dismissed included Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye (women affairs); Lola Ade-John (tourism); Tahir Mamman (minister of education); Abdullahi Gwarzo (state, housing and urban development), and Jamila Ibrahim (youth development).
This was in addition to the reassignment of new portfolios to 10 other ministers.
Tinubu aware of Nigeria's situation
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that President Tinubu admitted he is aware of the current rising living costs but has called on Nigerians to remain patient.
Speaking during a visit from former lawmakers at the State House, Tinubu called for a collective effort to tackle the nation’s economic challenges.
The Nigerian leader noted that a significant change requires hard work and commitment while urging citizens to look into agriculture.
