[D-DAY] The LIST

The long awaited list of Ministers for the Buhari administration is expected to be finally unveiled on Tuesday by the National Assembly. The President had promised to release the list on or before the last day of September. He however, did so on the last day of the month but stopped short of revealing who and who made the list. The list was submitted to the National Assembly as confirmed by the Senate President Bukola Saraki.

Nigerians have mostly been frustrated with the delay in announcing a cabinet suggesting that it is one of the major reasons why the economy is on a standstill.

Finally, the list which we understand is sealed will be opened today on the floor of the National Assembly. We will be tracking the unveiling on the floor of the National Assembly and update this page as things unfold.
