Minister’s swap before swearing in sign of unreadiness to lead Nigeria—Nigerians
Opinion poll conducted weekend across mega cities in Nigeria on recent swapping of ministers-designate and even the late inclusion of a strategic ministry like the Niger Delta has shown that the President, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not prepared for the presidency as he initially claimed.
The result of the poll revealed that whereas 87% agreed that he was not prepared, 10 said he was prepared leaving 3% as undecided.
Only weekend, President Bola Tinubu has approved the redeployment of Engr. Abubakar Momoh from the Federal Ministry of Youth to the Federal Ministry of Niger Delta Development.
The Federal Ministry of Youth is to be re-assigned to a Minister-Designate soon.
The Ministers-Designate allocated to the Federal Ministries of Transportation, Interior, and Marine & Blue Economy have been reshuffled as follows:
(A) Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola is redeployed as the Honourable Minister of Marine & Blue Economy
(B) Hon. Bunmi Tunji-Ojo is redeployed as the Honourable Minister of Interior
(C) Hon. Sa’idu Alkali is redeployed as the Honourable Minister of Transportation
Furthermore, both Ministers of State in the Oil & Gas sector are now domiciled in the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources with the following designations:
(i) Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri is the Hon. Minister of State (Oil), Petroleum Resources
(ii) Hon. Ekperipe Ekpo is the Hon. Minister of State (Gas), Petroleum Resources
The President approves the renaming of the Federal Ministry of Environment and Ecological Management as the Federal Ministry of Environment.
A statement by Mr. Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity), averred that “All aforementioned changes take immediate effect by these directives of the President.”
