Tinubu gave the reason, according to a statement from his spokesman Ajuri Ngelale.

President Bola Tinubu has explained why he has a large cabinet.

He justified his 48-man cabinet in a statement made public by his aide.

According to him, merging ministries will lead to non-performance.

The President gave the justification when he received a delegation of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) led by its President, Daniel Okoh, at the State House in Abuja.

“We have no other country but Nigeria. If you do not preach the sermon of understanding, tolerance, perseverance, and hope for Nigerians, you are doing damage to the country, and nobody will help us repair it,” Tinubu said, according to a statement from his spokesman Ajuri Ngelale.

I have had a number of criticisms, including the rationale behind the size of my cabinet. If you want efficient, mobile, and resourceful people, we have to give people a load they can carry. If you combine too many ministries because you want to save money, you will have a future of non-performance and no results.

Nigeria needs to turn the corner to grow, and we must give people challenges they can manage, and that is what we are doing” he said

Despite the challenges facing the country on many fronts, Tinubu said his government is unrelenting, promising to be fair to all Nigerians.

“We are here to listen, and if you observe any inadequacies in my government, let us know. I am here today because of your prayers and the will of God Almighty. What I have challenged myself to do each day is to be fair to all Nigerians,” he maintained
