BREAKING! Ministers’ Sack Looms As Buhari Supervises Appraisal
There is the likelihood that President Muhammadu Buhari will sack more ministers when the ongoing performance appraisal is completed.
The president alluded to this on Monday at the opening of a two-day Mid-Term Ministerial Performance Review Retreat organised to assess the achievements of the nine key priorities of the administration and the performances of top government functionaries.
The retreat is being attended by ministers, permanent secretaries and other top government officials.
Buhari said that he will sit through all the sessions to listen to the cumulative assessment of the administration’s performance over the last 2 years.
In his speech yesterday, the president warned all ministers and permanent secretaries to take issues relating to the implementation of their mandates towards the attainment of the objectives of his administration seriously.
The president had in September fired the Ministers of Agriculture, Mohammed Sabo Nanono, and his counterpart in the Ministry of Power, Saleh Mamman over poor performance.
They were the first ministers to be sacked by the president since he assumed office in 2015.
President Buhari, it was gathered, was not satisfied with the performance of some of the ministers whose names were said to have been compiled for necessary action.
Presidency sources said the president might have delayed the submission of names of new personalities to replace Nanono and Mamman to accommodate those who will equally take over from more ministers that failed to meet up with performance targets after the retreat.
There were expectations that the president would sack more ministers on October 1, but he did not.
