President Muhammadu Buhari has told his ministers that they would work as a team to move Nigerians out of poverty.

The president said this on Monday while addressing the incoming ministers ahead of their inauguration on Wednesday in Abuja.

His words, “We must work as a team. Working as a team demands that we know what the next person is doing. You must open communication with your colleagues. Lack of communication leads to lack of cooperation and sub-optimal performance.
