President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to swear in seven newly appointed ministers on Monday, marking a significant step in his administration’s ongoing restructuring efforts.
The announcement was made by Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, via his verified X account on Sunday.
The seven ministers, cleared by the Senate last week, will assume pivotal roles across various sectors. They include Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda (Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction), Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi (Labour and Employment), and Bianca Odinaka Odumegwu-Ojukwu (State for Foreign Affairs).
Other appointees are Dr. Jumoke Oduwole (Trade and Investment), Idi Mukhtar Maiha (Livestock Development), Yusuf Abdullahi Ata (State for Housing and Urban Development), and Dr. Suwaiba Said Ahmad (State for Education).
This cabinet reshuffle comes after months of growing calls from Nigerians for change. President Tinubu’s administration has been working to address the country’s challenges.
The new appointments are expected to bring fresh perspectives and expertise to their respective ministries. The swearing-in ceremony is scheduled to take place on Monday.
The Senate’s clearance of the ministers last week paved the way for their appointment. The new ministers will join President Tinubu’s cabinet as the administration continues its efforts to revamp the country.
The appointments are seen as a significant step towards addressing Nigeria’s pressing issues, and the public will be watching closely as the new ministers assume their roles.
