FCT, Abuja - In a significant cabinet reshuffle on Wednesday, October 23, President Bola Tinubu dismissed five ministers and redeployed 10 others.

The ministers sacked are Barrister Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, minister of women affairs; Lola Ade-John; minister of tourism; Professor Tahir Mamman, minister of education; Abdullahi Muhammad Gwarzo, minister of state, housing and urban and development; and Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim, minister of youth development.

Legit.ng reports that the second cabinet of President Tinubu has elicited mixed reactions.

With Nigeria contending with perennial challenges, the decision of Tinubu to retain certain ministers was met with criticism from some quarters.

Olusegun Ogundare, the senior managing partner, Intellectual Edge Services, while expressing mixed feelings about the cabinet reshuffle, wondered why some ministers were not shown the exit.

As reported by The Punch on Thursday, October 24, Ogundare said both Adebayo Adelabu, minister of power; and Bello Matawalle, the minister of state for defence; should have been sacked.

He said:

“Whether I am impressed, I can say yes and I can say no. What is the minister of power (Adelabu) doing? What is the minister of state for defence (Matawalle) doing in that cabinet? Adelabu should have been excused. He doesn’t know anything about power.”
