“No, it is what we know – and which we learnt from western system. the civil service provides the continuity, the technocrat . And in any case, they are those that do the work” Buhari said while responding to the question if the absence of ministers affects the Nigerian economy.
“The ministers are there, i think they make a lot of noise; for the politicians to make a lot of noise. But the work is being done by technocrats. They are there, they have to provide the continuity, dig into the records and then guide us, (those of us) who are coming in.”
On appointment of cabinet members, the President stated, ” As for the cabinet, i said we will have one by the end of the month and time flies. The end of the month is coming too quickly for my liking”.
