President Muhammadu Buhari and his ministerial-nominees will starting from tomorrow, Thursday, November 5, 2015, embark on a retreat, which hopefully will guide them in charting the way forward for Nigeria.
How long the retreat will last could not be ascertained immediately by us. However, we learnt that it is being put together by the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and will hold at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, in Abuja.
Buhari, it would be recalled, after so much drama, had all his 36 ministerial nominees approved by the Senate. Notable among them are Babatunde Fashola, SAN, former Governor of Lagos; Dr. Kayode Fayemi, his Ekiti counterpart; Dr. Chris Ngige, Anambra; Rotimi Amaechi, Rivers, to mention but few.
Portfolios are expected to be assigned to them soon after the retreat.
