President Bola Tinubu is reportedly set to overhaul his cabinet in the coming week, a move seen as a bid to reinvigorate his administration with fresh talent and ideas.
A senior source within the presidency disclosed to the Sunday Tribune that the president’s decision is motivated by the need to address the underperformance that has plagued certain members of the current cabinet.

Fresh off his diplomatic visit to China, President Tinubu is expected to finalize the dissolution of his cabinet before his departure to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. The timing suggests a calculated move to clear any domestic distractions before engaging in international discussions.
Sources revealed that several ministers’ lackluster performances have drawn the president’s dissatisfaction, with a list of new candidates already in place to replace them. The reshuffle is expected to bring in new faces as well as some experienced figures, with rumors swirling that a former minister from the Buhari administration could be reappointed.

Speculation also surrounded the recent resignation of the presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale. However, insiders dismissed any link between his departure and the broader cabinet reshuffle, clarifying that the two events are unrelated.
The anticipated changes come as Tinubu looks to strengthen his administration’s capacity and align it with the evolving demands of governance, both domestically and on the global stage.
