The Presidency has reacted to portfolios of ministerial nominees which have been shared on social media.
The Senate had on July 30 confirmed all 43 ministerial nominees without portfolios as presented by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Since that time, portfolios for the nominees have been shared on WhatsApp by unknown persons.
Reacting to this on Friday, social media aide to the President, Tolu Ogunlesi, said via Twitter that the genuine portfolios would be announced by President Buhari during inauguration of the ministers.
“Genuine List of Ministerial Nominees was announced by the Senate President. Genuine List of Ministerial Portfolios will be announced by the President, after he has sworn them in,” Mr Ogunlesi said.
The date for the inauguration has not been announced. However, President Buhari is said to have set up an advisory committee to help in drafting portfolios to suitable nominees.
