According to reports, President-elect Bola Tinubu plans to reduce the cost of governance and revive Nigeria’s economy by selling government assets and merging some Ministries, Departments, and agencies of the Federal Government.
He also plans to reform the civil service as recommended by the Stephen Oronsaye panel’s report.
Tinubu is expected to make tough decisions such as removing the fuel subsidy, introducing higher taxes, and privatizing public corporations.
He has been meeting with trusted allies and those familiar with the economy to bring out the best for the country.
Tinubu, who is an accountant, plans to appoint competent Nigerians from the Diaspora into his cabinet, which will likely not be populated by politicians as experienced under the outgoing government.
The source said: “The President-elect would appoint Nigerians from the Diaspora into his cabinet, which would likely not be populated by politicians as experienced under the outgoing government.
“He (Tinubu) won’t give ministries to people to manage based on patronage alone. He must have recognised capacity and ability in you before you can be appointed into key positions. That is the hallmark of this man that Nigerians have given the leadership of the country,” the source added.
