The memo stated that "all handing over and taking over processes should be completed on or before close of business on Thursday 23rd April, 2026."


Explaining the President's decision, Akume said: "These changes are aimed at strengthening cohesion, synergy in governance as well as achieving more impactful delivery on the economy to Nigerians, through the Renewed Hope Agenda."


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.


The President, Akume noted, equally assured all cabinet members that "the process of reinvigoration shall be continuous."
