The Federal Government had directed the newly-inaugurated ministers to begin work on the 2020 budget as their first assignment in office.
They were also asked to immediately schedule meetings with their respective permanent secretaries and submit a reviewed ministerial mandate within two weeks.
The government’s directive was given at the inauguration of the ministers in Abuja.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, made the disclosure shortly before President Buhari assigned portfolios to the ministers.
“You are expected to familiarise yourselves with the permanent secretaries of various ministries and within this period.
“Set out to work particularly on the (2020) budget, and taking cognisance of the fact that we have assured the National Assembly that we are sending the budget immediately they return from the recess,” he said.
Buhari assigned portfolios to the ministers soon after all 43 of them took the oath office at the Council Chambers, Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The ceremonies started at 11am with the arrival of Buhari.
