Legit.ng reports that calls for the reshuffling of President Tinubu’s cabinet reached new levels in the wake of Nigeria’s dwindling economic fortunes which have worsened the living standards across the country.

President Tinubu heeded the calls in October, dismissing five ministers and nominating seven others. Those dismissed included Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye (women affairs); Lola Ade-John (tourism); Tahir Mamman (minister of education); Abdullahi Gwarzo (state, housing and urban development), and Jamila Ibrahim (youth development).

This was in addition to the reassignment of new portfolios to 10 other ministers.
