President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that he intends to quickly fill empty cabinet seats in the Federal Executive Council.

On Friday, Buhari held a farewell ceremony for former ministers in the Council Chambers of State House, thanking them for their services to the administration and wishing them well in their future endeavors.
