The presidency has officially confirmed that a cabinet reshuffle is on the horizon. This was revealed by the special adviser to the president on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, during a briefing with State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa yesterday.

Although the exact timing remains unclear, Onanuga stated that while the reshuffle might happen soon, there is no certainty whether it will take place before October 1. Onanuga remarked, “The president has expressed his desire to reshuffle the cabinet, and he will do it. I don’t know whether he’s going to do it before October one, but he will surely do it.”

He further added, “He has not given us any timeline when he wants to do it, but he has expressed his plan to proceed with the reshuffle.”Meanwhile, O’tega Ogra, senior special assistant on digital and new media, emphasized that the president’s decision will be based on factual considerations. It’s worth recalling that the current ministers were appointed in August of last year.
