This was made known to the ministers to be, at the presidential retreat for the 36 ministers-designate held at the Banquet Hall within the precinct of the presidential villa, Abuja. The retreat which started at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja on Wednesday and was later moved to the Villa on Thursday was essentially to educate the Ministers-designate on a wide range of issues that would bring them to terms with the current economic realities.

According to Senator Chris Ngige, a minister-designate told State House Correspondents that the Buhari-led government was that of ‘change’, which would not tolerate waste of resources and impunity.

He said that all financial loopholes would be plugged to save money for the development of critical sectors of the economy, saying it is not going to be business as usual.
