Ministerial portfolios: Presidency denies speculated list

Ahead of the swearing in of the ministerial
nominees following their successful screening and
confirmation by the senate last week, the Presidency has
denied releasing any list that assigned portfolios to them.
The denial followed the speculated list of portfolios which
made the rounds especially on social media on Sunday.
Responding to Vanguard on the issue, the Special Adviser
to President Mohammadu Buhari, Mr. Femi Adesina said
that the list did not emanate from the presidency as it was
not officially signed.
“Any communication from the presidency must be
officially singed. Was that list signed by me or Mr. Garba
Shehu? Please, ignore it”, he said.
He also did not reveal when the inauguration ceremony of
the Ministers would hold.
