President Bola Tinubu has directed his ministers to provide an immediate account of their stewardship and challenges to the people.
This directive is aimed at promoting transparency and accountability within the government.
The ministerial briefings, which will start immediately, aim to keep Nigerians informed about the government’s achievements and provide an opportunity for citizens to ask questions.
According to Mr. Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, the briefings will showcase the government’s achievements in the past year.
The Tinubu administration will mark its second anniversary with sectoral briefings by the ministers instead of celebrating it with ceremonies.
The ministerial briefings will also serve as an assessment of the cabinet members’ performance, as they had signed a performance bond during a cabinet retreat in November 2024.
The bond requires them to demonstrate diligence, innovative thinking, commitment, and a focus on results.
This development comes five months after President Tinubu reshuffled his 45-member cabinet, naming seven new ministers, sacking five, and reassigning 10 others to new portfolios.
The reshuffle was seen as a move to reinvigorate the administration’s economic reform agenda, which has been facing challenges, including soaring inflation and a cost-of-living crisis.
