President Muhammadu Buhari has reassured that he would name his cabinet before the end of the month.
A statement issued by the president’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, said the president gave the reassurance in Aburi, Ghana, at a joint press conference with President John Dramani Mahama of Ghana.
"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." the President was quoted to have said.
Commenting on the recent feats of the Nigerian military against insurgency, the President 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 northeast, the military is gaining ground and Boko Haram has been limited to the Sambisa forest.
"Internally Displaced Persons are gradually moving back home and they are being reintegrated into their respective communities,’’ he said.
On the declaration of assets, the President affirmed that it was a constitutional requirement.
"I recall that in 1975 when late Murtala Mohammed became the Head of State, we were lined up - governors, ministers, members of the Supreme Military Council. Officials of Ministry of Justice were brought and every individual was made to declare his assets.
"All Heads of States and Government, governors, ministers, permanent secretaries have to declare their assets because it is a constitutional requirement.
"I have declared my assets four times. When I was governor in 1975, I declared. After being Minister of Petroleum and as a member of Supreme Military Council, I declared. When I was Head of State and now as a President, I have also declared,’’ Buhari said.
The Ghanaian President thanked President Buhari for his visit and assured him of Ghana’s support and cooperation in the fight against terrorism
