President Bola Tinubu has sworn in seven newly appointed ministers. The ceremony took place on Monday in the council chamber of Aso Rock Villa.
The ministers were confirmed by the Senate last week after a screening exercise, during which senators questioned them extensively on the portfolios assigned by the president.
The confirmed appointees include Nentawe Yilwatda as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi as Minister of Labour and Employment, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, and Yusuf Abdullahi Ata as Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development.
Also appointed were Idi Mukhtar Maiha as Minister of Livestock Development, Jumoke Oduwole as Minister of Trade and Investment, and Suwaiba Said Ahmad as Minister of State for Education.
About two weeks ago, Tinubu dismissed five ministers and requested the Senate to screen and confirm these replacements, filling both vacant and newly created positions in his cabinet.
