According to the provisions of the constitution, the President Tinubu’ administration which was inaugurated in 29 May, is left with about 10 out of 60 days to constitute his cabinet.

“The list of ministerial nominees has been ready since but the President has made some changes in some states.
“The list is expected to be forwarded to the National Assembly between Wednesday and Thursday except there is any development that could delay it again further.
“The President is supposed to constitute his cabinet latest July 26. So, I am sure that the list will be sent to the senate this week,´” the Presidency source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said.
Recall that different purported ministerial lists have been in circulation as the President keeps Nigerians guessing on who would make the list and whether there will be government of national unity as speculated in some quarters.
The presidential spokesman, Mr. Dele Alake, recently noted only President Tinubu can decide when to submit the list of the nominees to the National Assembly as well as those to make the list.
Alake however, assured that the list will be made public before the expiration of the 60 days.
