President Mohammadu Buhari will appoint Ministers only when it is feasible, his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina said Tuesday.
Speaking exclusively to Vanguard in reaction to massive public concern on why the president has not formed his cabinet, Adesina said that the president is preparing the grounds for the Ministers, saying that they would be appointed at the fullness of time.
He said: “The appointment of Ministers is constitutional because the constitution prescribes that there must be a Minister from at least one state of the federation and President Mohammdu Buhari will do what is constitutional. So, he will constitute a cabinet.
“But then when he does it is his prerogative. He is the one who will determine when he needs that cabinet. But for now, he has said that he wants to lay a proper foundation for the administration and that’s why he has been working with bureaucrats; the various Permanent Secretaries.
“For the past two week and still going forward, the Permanent Secretaries have been briefing him on the state of their ministries and then, I am sure at the fullness of time, the Ministers will be appointed.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

The clause in the constitution that requires a minister to come from each state needs to be removed. The constitution should not require us to create more and more bureaucracy when progressive nations are getting leaner and leaner. Indeed, the constitution should not dictate how many ministers the country needs to have.
ReplyDeletePls Mr President be fast and appoint the ministers or appoint that of Information first so that he will remove the current NTA management soonest. We in NTA need change too.
