President Tinubu has expressed doubt about reducing his cabinet, saying no guarantee this would boost performance.
The President justified his cabinet of 47 ministers saying the number reflects the diversity of roles required to run an efficient government.
“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,” the President firmly stated.
