All 36 ministers in President Buhari's cabinet will be having their
convoys and aides cut down. One of the ministers-designate, Chris Ngige
stated this while speaking to newsmen at the end of the ministerial
retreat in Abuja yesterday November 6th
"Yes, we shall operate a lean economy because we are going to block
areas of leakages, retinue of aides, protocol staff, large convoys of
cars are things that will not fly in this administration" he said
Reacting to President Buhari's position that some ministers will not be assigned portfolio's in his cabinet, Ngige said
"If you have portfolio, if you don’t have portfolio, it is one single
federal executive council. You bring whatever it is on the table. That
is not a problem at all. We have the right to discuss things around the
ministries because it is one single cabinet. The important thing is that
we want to move our people from where they are now; they are in abject
poverty, which concerns about 75 percent of the populace. So, we need to
actually restructure the political and social moment of the country and
that is what we are going to do. That means poverty will reduce.”he
