President Tinubu Swears In Seven New Ministers

President Bola Tinubu has officially sworn in the seven newly-appointed ministers in a ceremony held at the council chamber of Aso Rock Villa today, Monday.

These ministers were recently confirmed by the Senate after screening, where senators questioned them on their assigned portfolios.

This 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.
