With all his candidates scaling through the Senate screening, President Muhammadu Buhari is set to inaugurate his new cabinet.
But the inauguration would not come until after a retreat scheduled for August 15 and 16, a statement signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation Boss Mustapha said on Friday.
Mustapha, said the retreat is to guide the ministers on the adequate discharge of their duties once they resume office.
The statement said a prerequisite for the retreat is for all the 43 ministers designate to submit both soft and hard copies of their up-to-date Curriculum Vitae to the cabinet office.
The statement reads: “Following confirmation by the Senate, All Ministers Designate are by this notice informed that relevant documents for their study and guidance, preparatory to the inauguration of the Cabinet shall be available for collection at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) (Cabinet Affairs Office) from 10.00am on Tuesday August 6, 2019.
“Ministers Designate are also requested to please bring along and submit to the OSGF, their updated CV in soft and hard copies as well as any valid identification document.
“Finally, I am pleased to inform you that, in view of the need to allow Ministers Designate enough time to study the documents (Status Report on Policies, Programmes and Projects; the 2019-2023 Road Map, FEC Handbook, etc) and considering the upcoming Sallah break, His Excellency, Mr. President has approved an INDUCTION RETREAT for Ministers Designate to be held at the State House Banquet Hall, Abuja from August 15-16, 2019.”
