President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet
will be formally inaugurated on Wednesday. Apart from administering oath of office on the 36 minister-designates that have been confirmed by the Senate, President Buhari is also expected to announce their portfolios.
The event is scheduled to hold inside the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The inauguration of Buhari’s cabinet is coming more than five months after the inauguration of the president.
According to sources in the presidency, the date of the inauguration had already been communicated to minister-designates by the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President. The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Garba Shehu, confirmed that the inauguration of ministers was on the President’s schedule for Wednesday. Shehu, however, said only the president knows the number of ministries he had settled for.
