Tinubu Justifies Cabinet Size
President Bola Tinubu has justified his 48-member cabinet, claiming that combining ministries will result in underperformance.
Tinubu stated this when he received a delegation of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) led by its President, Daniel Okoh, at the State House in Abuja on Monday.
According to the President, Nigerians should work together to improve their nation and have a more positive outlook on money.
“We have no other country but Nigeria. If you do not preach the sermon of understanding, tolerance, perseverance, and hope for Nigerians, you are doing damage to the country, and nobody will help us repair it,” Tinubu said, according to a statement from his spokesman Ajuri Ngelale.
“I have had a number of criticisms, including the rationale behind the size of my cabinet. If you want efficient, mobile, and resourceful people, we have to give people a load they can carry. If you combine too many ministries because you want to save money, you will have a future of non-performance and no results.
“Nigeria needs to turn the corner to grow, and we must give people challenges they can manage, and that is what we are doing”.
“We are here to listen, and if you observe any inadequacies in my government, let us know. I am here today because of your prayers and the will of God Almighty. What I have challenged myself to do each day is to be fair to all Nigerians,” Tinubu stated.
