President Bola Tinubu has sworn in seven newly appointed ministers. The ceremony took place on Monday in the council chamber of Aso Rock Villa.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
