Anxiety within Federal Executive Council FEC as President Tinubu gets Ministers’ performance record
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is expected to receive the scorecard of members of his cabinet this week.
The Administration will be one year old next week, but the ministers will clock nine months in office tomorrow, having been sworn in on August 21 last year.
The Nation reports, scorecard of Special Advisers and heads of key departments and agencies will also likely be delivered to the President.
Forty-eight ministers were inaugurated by the President but they are now reduced to 46, following the departure of Minister of Labour and Employment Simon Lalong, who resigned to take up his seat at the Senate following his victory at the Court of Appeal.
He left the government on December 20.
Minister of Humanitarian Affairs Dr. Betta Edu has been on suspension since March 6 to allow a probe into allegations of misdeed in her ministry.
There is anxiety in the cabinet over whether the assessment report will lead to a reshuffle or removal of some ministers.
Although the report was compiled by Special Adviser on Policy and Coordination/ Head of Central Coordination Delivery Unit (CDCU) Hajiya Hadiza Bala-Usman, the President has the final say on it.
The criteria for the performance assessment of the ministers were spelt out after the retreat which followed their inauguration.
This is based on deliverables of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) members on the eight priority areas of the Administration.
