President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that not all his ministers will have specific portfolios, however, here's a sneak peek into what we will likely have when the President announces the ministers' portfolios.
On Thursday, in New Delhi, India, the President confirmed that he would reduce the number of ministries in the country.
Here are the ministers and their speculated portfolios as we await official announcement by the President, possibly before this week runs out...
"There used to be 42 ministers." the President said last week in India "I think we will be lucky if we can have half of that now because we cannot afford it,” Buhari said
“Others may not be substantive ministers but they will sit in the cabinet because that is what the constitution says and we cannot operate outside the constitution,” he added.
