Barring any last minute change, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Monday, August 21, 2023, inaugurate his cabinet after close to eighty days after his swearing-in.
President Tinubu looks set to put his Ministers in place to deal with many of the social and economic challenges facing the country.
Sources close to the Presidential Villa revealed that the schedules of the President this week do not include the swearing in of Ministers.
The source confirmed that the offices of the Chief of Staff and Secretary to the Government of Federation are finalising arrangements for the cabinet inauguration next week Monday and a Ministerial retreat where the Ministers will be inducted and sign a service charter to commit to faithful implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the administration.
Mataz Arising recalls that the Senate had refused to clear Nasir El-Rufai, Stella Okotete, and Abubakar Sani Danladi due to issues with their security clearance.
