According to the special adviser to the president, Ajuri Ngelale, in a statement, the Federal Ministry of Youth is to be re-assigned to a Minister-Designate soon.

The statement also noted that Ministers-Designate allocated to the Federal Ministries of Transportation, Interior, and Marine & Blue Economy have been reshuffled as follows:

(A) H.E. Adegboyega Oyetola is redeployed as the Honourable Minister of Marine & Blue Economy.

(B) Hon. Bunmi Tunji-Ojo is redeployed as the Honourable Minister of Interior.

(C) Hon. Sa’idu Alkali is redeployed as the Honourable Minister of Transportation.

Reacting via a post shared on his Twitter handle, Kenneth Okonkwo described the administration of President Tinubu as a joke.

According to the movie star, reshuffling a cabinet within three days of assigning portfolios, even before swearing-in, was a clear sign of confusion and unpreparedness on the part of the president.
