President Bola Tinubu’s recent cabinet reshuffle has been lauded by former presidential spokesman Dr Doyin Okupe who said the former’s scrapping of ‘superfluous ministries’ is commendable.
Okupe made the comment on Thursday in Lagos, noting that Tinubu’s actions align with ridding his administration of waste.
“President Tinubu has done the needful by his mid-term rejig of his cabinet.
“Scrapping superfluous ministries is in line with removing waste and making government compact and effective, this is commendable.
“For the first time, removal of ministers from the cabinet has not been arbitrary or sentimental, apart from an in-house key performance index report.
“KPMG is also said to be involved in critical performance assessment of the ministers.
“As I have personally stated in the past, President Tinubu has the capacity and leadership qualities to take Nigeria out of the economic quagmire he met on assumption of office in May 2023,” Okupe stated.
