As Nigerians eagerly anticipate the announcement of President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial nominees, there are reports suggesting who may be appointed as the minister of finance.
According to the Nigerian Tribune, a former Chief Executive Officer of a commercial bank from the southwest is being considered for the position.
This individual, who reportedly joined partisan politics in 2020, is said to be one of the technocrats that Tinubu plans to appoint as ministers.
The person is also a Fellow of Chartered Accountants (FCA).
The source quoted by the Nigerian Tribune stated that President Tinubu recognizes the need to depart from the old order in ministerial appointments and is assembling a talented team to address the country’s challenges.
“The president is aware of the need to depart from the old order in the appointment of ministers. He has demonstrated it in Lagos state that he is a talent spotter.
“Rest assured he is assembling a crack team to confront the problems in the country,” Nigerian Tribune quoted the source as saying.
It is important to note that President Tinubu is required to appoint a minister from each of the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to assist in governing the country.
