President Bola Tinubu has officially sworn in seven newly-appointed ministers in a ceremony held at the council chamber of Aso Rock Villa today, Monday.
The ministers were recently confirmed by the Senate after screening last week.
The swearing-in follows the dismissal of five previous ministers by President Tinubu about two weeks ago, after which he nominated these new officials to fill the vacancies and expand his cabinet.
The newly appointed ministers and their portfolios are:
Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda – Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction
Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi – Minister of Labour & Employment
Bianca Odinaka Odumegwu-Ojukwu – Minister of State, Foreign Affairs
Dr. Jumoke Oduwole – Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment
Idi Mukhtar Maiha – Minister of Livestock Development
Yusuf Abdullahi Ata – Minister of State, Housing and Urban Development
Dr. Suwaiba Said Ahmad – Minister of State, Education
These new ministers are expected to immediately begin their roles and contribute to the administration’s goals in their respective areas.
