President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday, disclosed his unwillingness to cut the size of cabinet members despite calls to cut down the cost of governance in the country, saying that the philosophy is about efficiency.
Tinubu said this during his maiden presidential media chat on Monday in Ikoyi, Lagos.
According to Tinubu, he was not looking at the number of people in his cabinet but how they could deliver the tasks assigned to them.
NaomisophyBlog Online gathered that with the recent cabinet reshuffle and appointment of new ministers, the President now pilot the affairs of the country with over 50 ministers – a record number since the return to democracy in 1999.
“You don’t give somebody an assignment that they cannot fulfil. The job description must be efficient and effective. Nigeria is a great country. I’m glad we are here. If you have to entertain over 100 million people. That’s on entertainment.
“Let’s pay attention to efficiency. I’m not ready to reduce my cabinet.”
