President Muhammadu Buhari To Name Ministers Before Sept 30th

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday in Aburi, Ghana, restated his earlier stand that he would name his cabinet before the end of this month.He gave the assurance at a joint press conference with Ghana president, John Dramani Mahama.Buhari told Nigerians and the international community that they were at liberty to query him if he did not announce his ministers’ appointment by the time.

“After I was sworn in, I said I will have my cabinet in September. I expect that Nigerians should ask me questions after the 30th of September if I do not do so,” he stated in response to a question on the appointment of ministers.

The president also announced that the Nigerian armed forces, in collaboration with the Multi-National Joint Task Force, had made significant progress in the ongoing campaign against the Boko Haram sect since he took over as president.

He said, “The first thing I did after I came into office was to reorganize the military and clear orders were given to them in terms of retraining, re-equipping and redeployment of troops.

“In the North East, the military is gaining ground and Boko Haram has been limited to the Sambisa Forest. Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are gradually moving back home and they are being reintegrated into their respective communities.”
