Just in: Confusion as Ministers get portfolios on social media while FG plans training
Whereas a section of the social media is already awash with list of ministers and their portfolios, the Secretary to the Federal Government, Mr Boss Mustapha has remained silent on when the ministers-designate will be inaugurated with their ministries attached.
Rather, in a statement issued Friday, he revealed that all the 43 ministerial nominees will undergo strategic training on the workings of the government ahead of inauguration at a date that is yet to be made public.
According to him, “Following confirmation by the Senate, all ministers-designate are informed that relevant documents for their study and guidance, preparatory to the inauguration of the cabinet shall be available for collection at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (Cabinet Affairs Office) on Tuesday August 6, 2019.
“In view of the need to allow ministers-designate enough time to study the documents (Status Report on Policies, Programmes and Projects; the 2019-2023 Road Map, FEC Handbook, etc) and considering the upcoming Sallah break, His Excellency, Mr President has approved an induction retreat for ministers-designate to be held at the State House Banquet Hall, Abuja from August 15-16, 2019.
Mustapha added that “Ministers-designate are also requested to please bring along and submit to the OSGF, their updated CV in soft and hard copies as well as any valid identification document.”
