Legit.ng reports that the second cabinet of President Tinubu has elicited mixed reactions.

With Nigeria contending with perennial challenges, the decision of Tinubu to retain certain ministers was met with criticism from some quarters.

Outspoken senator, Ndume, advised President Tinubu to sack more ministers who are underperforming to fast-track the implementation of his ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda for the country.

In a statement on Saturday, October 26, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain said:

“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.”
