Five ex-ministers and a former Senior Special Assistant to the President are still listed as members of President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet and aide on the website of the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) many months after they resigned their appointments to pursue different ambitions.
The five former ministers’ names and their former portfolios were still listed on the website, www.osgf.gov.ng., on Thursday, April 24, 2019.
Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), had in May 2018 unveiled the website which was upgraded with N64million.
The former ministers who are still on the list include Kemi Adeosun, (Finance); Kayode Fayemi, (Solid Minerals Development); Aisha Al-Hassan, (Women Affairs and Social Development); Khadija Abba-Ibrahim, (Minister of State for Foreign Affairs); and Ibrahim Jibril, (Minister of State for Environment).
They were listed in the “Political Appointees” section of the website under the title “Portfolios of ministers, special advisers, senior special assistants, and special assistants to the President.”
Although there is a column designed for the date of resignation in case the public officials had left the government, this has not been updated to reflect the current status of the five former ministers when our correspondent checked on Thursday.
Apart from the former ministers, a former Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives), Suleiman Kawu, is still on the list of the government appointees.
Kawu resigned in 2018 to contest the House of Representatives election in Kano State
