The President has directed the ministers to channel all requests for meetings with him through his Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Gambari.
President Muhammadu Buhari gave the directive on Tuesday at the end of the first-year ministerial performance review retreat of his administration, at the State House in Abuja.
Recall that this is the second time that the president would give such directive to ministers.
The first time was in 2019 when the president asked them to submit such requests through Abba Kyari, his late chief of staff.
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,” he said.
“While all federal Executive council matters should be coordinated through the secretary to the government of the federation.”
This is the second time that the president would give such directive to ministers.
