Daily Trust had reported how the failure of Buhari to replace the minister 39 days after their resignation had slowed down the pace of activities in the affected ministries.

Buhari had while speaking at a valedictory session for the ministers held on May 13 at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said replacement appointments would be made without delay, “So that the business of governance would not suffer as their departure had created a vacuum that should be filled”.
