Tinubu’ll reshuffle his cabinet – Presidency
The Nigerian presidency has confirmed an imminent cabinet reshuffle by PresidentBolaTinubu, though no specific timeline has been given.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, and the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Digital/New Media, Mr. O’Tega Ogra, confirmed this, on Wednesday , during a briefing at the State House, but notes that it remains unclear when President Bola Tinubu will make the changes.
Tinubu, who appointed his ministers in August last year, has also urged them to actively promote his administration’s progress.
Onanuga said that many Nigerians are unaware of the government’s achievements, as some ministers have been reluctant to speak publicly.
Onanuga said although there is no timeline for the impending reshuffle, the president has “expressed his desire” to do it.
He said: “Let me tell you, I don’t have any timeline. The President has expressed his desire to reshuffle his cabinet, and he will do it.
“I don’t know whether he’s going to do it before October 1, but he will surely do it. So that’s what I will say. He has not given us any timeline when he wants to do it, but he will do it. He has expressed his plan that he wants to do it.”
Onanuga said that many Nigerians are unaware of the government’s achievements, as some ministers have been reluctant to speak publicly.
Ogra added that the decision would not be arbitrary but would be based on performance reports presented by the Special Adviser to the President on Policy Coordination, Hadiza Bala-Usman.
Bala-Usman who also heads the Central Delivery Coordination Unit, said: “The President’s decision to reshuffle his cabinet is also based on empirical evidence.
You know, he had said that when he spoke at the retreat for the ministers that they were going to have periodic reviews and the decisions that are extracted from these reviews will be used to make that final decision.
“I know he has gotten a couple of reports, and as Mr. Onanuga said, when he is ready to do that, he will.”
President Bola Tinubu has approved a one-year extension for the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi. Originally set to end in August 2025, his tenure will now continue until August 2026.
According to a statement signed by Special Adviser Bayo Onanuga, the extension aims to give Mr. Adeniyi the opportunity to consolidate key reforms and oversee the completion of major initiatives, including the modernisation of Customs operations, the National Single Window Project, and Nigeria’s obligations under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
President Tinubu commended Adeniyi’s leadership and expressed confidence that the extension would bolster trade facilitation, boost revenue generation, and enhance border security.
Appointed Comptroller-General in October 2023, Adeniyi recently achieved international recognition when he was elected Chairperson of the Council of the World Customs Organization, the highest decision-making body in global customs affairs.
