President Bola Tinubu will swear in the seven newly appointed ministers into his cabinet on Monday.
The president’s special adviser on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
Mr Onanuga wrote, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will swear in the new seven ministers tomorrow Monday. The Ministers 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.
“Others are Dr Jumoke Oduwole – Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment (Trade and Investment); Idi Mukhtar Maiha – Minister of Livestock Development; Yusuf Abdullahi Ata – Minister of State, Housing and Urban Development; and Dr Suwaiba Said Ahmad – Minister of State Education.”
The presidency had, in a statement on October 23, announced a cabinet reshuffle that witnessed the sacking of five ministers and the re-assignment of ten others to other ministries.
The scheduled swearing-in comes days after the Senate confirmed the appointments of the ministerial nominees through a voice vote during plenary on Wednesday.
The Senate’s clearance brings the number of ministers under Mr Tinubu’s cabinet to 48.
