The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has explained that President Tinubu did not attach portfolios to the names of ministerial nominees as widely expected, this in line with the known tradition and liberty to place anyone in any Ministry that they fit most.

Fielding questions from State House correspondents after submitting the list to the Senate, Gbajabiamila also hinted that the President may separate portfolios or restructure the ministries in such a way that new ministries that were not in existence before may emerge.

Our Correspondent reports that Hon. Gbajabiamila said the remainder names, probably about 12 or 13, will be forwarded to the Senate in the coming days, adding that the list of ministerial nominees is composed of technocrats and politicians for balance and that the nominees are eminently qualified to make the list.
