Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to relocate Kemi Adeosun and Udoma Udo Udoma, ministers of Finance and Budget and planning respectively.
He stated this on Wednesday during plenary session of the Senate, advising that they should be moved to ministries where they may perform better.
He specifically recommended that the Budget and Planning Minister should be moved to Ministry of Trade and Investment.
According to him, there was need to restructure by unbundling the Federal Government, because as things are at present, government has been over loaded. He also said there was need for diversification of the economy.
Ekweremadu also said that those in government should also endeavour to give Nigerians message of hope by ensuring the right message is giving to them. He said there was need for the urgent amendment of the constitution.
