Indications have emerged that several ministers in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet are gripped by anxiety over a potential reshuffle, as speculation mounts regarding their performance and contributions to the Renewed Hope Agenda.

This development follows recent comments from Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, who hinted at an impending cabinet reshuffle aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the ministers.

Those found lacking in activity and contribution could face removal from their positions.

Criticism of the current ministers has been growing, with detractors arguing that many were appointed based on political patronage rather than merit.

Prior to the announcement of Tinubu’s cabinet, there were high expectations for a team predominantly composed of technocrats, further fueling dissatisfaction among observers.

According to Vanguard, sources close to the presidency revealed that before the president’s two-week trip to the United Kingdom, a comprehensive performance review of the ministers was prepared by Mrs. Hadiza Bala Usman, special adviser to the President on Policy Coordination and head of the Central Delivery Coordination Unit.

It is understood that Mrs. Usman has taken on the challenging task of compiling this performance data, a job she has reportedly executed diligently.

According to the source, “some of the Ministers are jittery and have tried to lobby her but she is not the kind of person to be manipulated. She is a strict and thorough person right from the time she was the Managing Director of the Nigeria Ports Authority.

“The President is going to rejig his cabinet to bring fresh hands that will help to translate his Renewed Hope Agenda into a complete reality.”

In celebration of World Food Day, QNET, a global leader in wellness and lifestyle products, reaffirms its commitment to revolutionizing health through advanced nutritional solutions.

At the heart of QNET’s mission is the belief that quality nutrition is the foundation for a healthier future.

This year, the company underscores the vital role of dietary supplements in improving overall well-being, particularly for communities facing limited access to essential nutrients.

With global malnutrition affecting nearly 1 in 5 adults, as highlighted by a recent WHO report, the need for effective nutritional supplements has never been more critical.

QNET’s diverse range of products is designed to address this gap by providing essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that are often missing from regular diets.

These supplements are particularly crucial for vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly, who face heightened risks of health complications due to poor nutrition.

In Nigeria, the malnutrition crisis is severe, with 32 percent of children under five suffering from stunted growth.

QNET’s innovative approach to nutrition aims to tackle such challenges by delivering products that bridge dietary gaps and support overall health.
