President Muhammadu Buhari has iterated saying ministers of the federation should always harness their requests to meet him through his chief of staff, ibrahim Gambari.
This is the second time that the president would give such directive to ministers.
The president made this charge while speaking at the first-year ministerial performance review retreat of his administration, in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said matters related to the federal executive council should be handled by the secretary to the government of the federation.
“Let me also reiterate that all submissions for my attention or meeting requests should be channelled through the chief of staff,”
“While all federal Executive council matters should be coordinated through the secretary to the government of the federation.” The president said
President Buhari first gave this directive in 2019 when he told the ministers to submit such requests through Abba Kyari, his late chief of staff who died earlier this year due to Covid-19 pandemic.
