The Presidency has confirmed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is planning to reshuffle his cabinet in the near future.
This reshuffle will be evidence-based, with decisions informed by performance report that has been collected empirically.
Naija News reports that this development was shared on Wednesday during a media briefing at the Presidential Villa in Abuja by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Joining Onanuga at the briefing, O’tega Ogra, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Digital and New Media, did not provide a specific timeline for the reshuffle but hinted that an announcement could be made later this week.
Insiders who spoke with the Guardian noted that the long-anticipated changes were postponed following the conclusion of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Monday.
