New Ministries may be created soon – Gbajabiamila
President Tinubu’s administration has indicated the possibility of creating new ministries in a bid to enhance governance in the country. Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President, revealed this during an interview with Channels Television in Abuja.
He stated, “Mr. President intends to separate portfolios or restructure the ministries in such a way that you might be hearing of new ministries that were not standalone ministries before. So the process continues.”

Tinubu entrusted the ministerial list to the National Assembly through Gbajabiamila, before it was read by Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
Gbajabiamila, highlighting the thorough personal screening carried out by the President in choosing the nominees, disclosed that the second part of the list, consisting of 13 names, would be sent to the Assembly.
