He said the President, in approving the cabinet reshuffle, has fully exercised his powers as conferred on him by Sections 147 and 148 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999, as amended).


The President thanked the outgoing ministers for their services to the nation while wishing them the best in all their future endeavours.
