President Bola Tinubu on Monday justified his 48-man cabinet, saying that it is needed to get efficient, mobile, and resourceful people who can propel the country to a greater height.
The President noted that merging ministries will lead to non-performance.
Tinubu spoke when he received a delegation of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) led by its President, Daniel Okoh, at the State House in Abuja.
According to a statement from his spokesman Ajuri Ngelale, the President urged Nigerians to join hands to fix the country and have a change of mindset towards money.
Ngalale quoted Tinubu as saying, “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.
“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.”
