What Are You Doing With 48 Ministers? 12 Is Enough – Olisa Agbakoba Advises Tinubu

A legal luminary, Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has advised President Bola Tinubu to reduce the number of his ministers to 10 or 12.

Agbakoba, who insisted that the president does not need 48 ministers, urged Tinubu to merge some ministries and scrap others.

The former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Olisa Agbakoba stated this during an interview with Vanguard.

He noted that Tinubu was right to have removed fuel subsidy.

Besides supporting the subsidy removal, Agbakoba said he was fully in support of correcting the economy.

However, he noted 👇

“I do not support the slow pace at which the government is tackling the problem of hardship now.

“What are you doing with 48 ministers? It is just too big. You don’t need all that. I recommend a maximum of 12.

“So many ministries can be merged and others abolished. What is the Ministry of Information doing? All the press secretaries in the Villa cover what the Minister of Information does. Tell me, what does the Minister of Information do daily? Nothing!

“We also do not need Agriculture and Housing ministries. My take is that the government has no house and does not need a Minister of Housing.

“There should be a very clean sweep; you can bring it down from 48 to about 10 to 12 ministers.

“We should abolish that section in the constitution that says every state must produce a minister.”
