 Dismiss more ministers, Ndume tells Tinubu


The lawmaker representing Borno South senatorial district, Ali Ndume, has called for the sacking of more slacking ministers from President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet.


Ndume, in a statement on Saturday in Abuja, said some other ministers who were not performing should be sacked.


The lawmaker applauded Tinubu’s recent cabinet restructuring, particularly the creation of the Ministry of Regional Development to oversee all regional commissions.


He said, “We saw President Tinubu’s cabinet reshuffle last week, which was a masterstroke.


“More needs to be done as some ministers are still ‘missing in action.


“I’m particularly pleased about establishing the Ministry of Regional Development to oversee regional commissions. The President’s decision to streamline ministries also exemplifies his commitment to reducing the cost of governance.”


He encouraged Tinubu to pursue his de-dollarisation policy further by positioning Nigeria to join BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa).
