Tinúbú stated, “I have had a number of criticisms, including the rationale behind the size of my cabinet. If you want efficient, mobile, and resourceful people, we have to give people a load they can carry.
“If you combine too many ministries because you want to save money, you will have a future of non-performance and no results. Nigeria needs to turn the corner to grow, and we must give people challenges they can manage, and that is what we are doing.”

The President explained that merging ministries to save costs would lead to inefficiencies and hinder the government’s ability to achieve its goals. He stressed that the diversity of roles within the cabinet reflects the complexity of running an efficient government and addressing the various challenges facing the country.
Tinúbú’s administration has faced criticism for its policies, including the removal of petrol subsidies and the floating of the naira, which have contributed to the rising cost of living.
However, he remains committed to his approach, believing that a well-structured and adequately staffed cabinet is essential for Nigeria’s progress.
