History
PredecessorFirst Cabinet of Muhammadu Buhari

Formation

Similarly to his first cabinet formation, Buhari delayed appointing a cabinet until later in the year, much to the chagrin of pundits and economists who said that the delay was hurting policy development and economic growth.[1][2]

On 11 November, a cabinet of 43 ministers from each of the 36 states of Nigeria was sworn in.[lower-alpha 1][4] The list did not contain over a dozen ministers that were in Buhari's first cabinet while including numerous former governors.[5] The new cabinet was criticized for its decline in gender diversity (with only seven women compared to fifteen at the start of the last cabinet) and preference for political allies over technocrats.[6][7]
