Reshuffle: HURIWA Gives Tinubu List Of Other Ministries to Scrap

Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA has named other ministries President Bola Tinubu should scrap.

This is as the group hailed him for undertaking the decsion to reform his cabinet.

HURIWA said the President must be bold enough to drop the many ‘dead woods’ in the system such as the two ministers in the youth development ministry, amongst many others.

The group, however, applauded the President for attempting to prune down the expanded federal cabinet, saying it may lead to a reduction in the costs of governance.

HURIWA stated that “a piecemeal approach to overhauling the largely dysfunctional and unwieldy Federal Executive cabinet is not what a nation that has almost economically crumbled to the ground and bleeding profusely needs but what the President should do immediately is to scale down the cabinet to just 36 ministers to be made up of credible Nigerian experts, technocrat and policy makers”.

The civil Rights group suggested that the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation should be scrapped and the roles assigned to the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Wealth Creation.
