President Bola Tinubu has officially sworn in seven new ministers to his cabinet during a ceremony held at the Council Chambers in Abuja on Monday. This follows the Senate’s approval of the nominees last week after a thorough screening process.
The appointments were part of a cabinet reshuffle initiated by President Tinubu in response to calls for changes within the administration. The newly sworn-in ministers are:
- Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda – Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction
- Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi – Minister of Labour and Employment
- Bianca Odinaka Odumegwu-Ojukwu – Minister of State for Foreign Affairs
- Dr. Jumoke Oduwole – Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment
- Idi Mukhtar Maiha – Minister of Livestock Development
- Yusuf Abdullahi Ata – Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development
- Dr. Suwaiba Said Ahmad – Minister of State for Education
These appointments mark a significant step in the administration’s efforts to enhance governance and address key national issues. Further updates are anticipated as the new ministers assume their roles.
