Tinubu Swears-In Seven Ministers
President Bola Tinubu has sworn in seven ministers-designates.
The ceremony was held in the council chamber of the Aso Rock villa on Monday.
The ministers-designate were confirmed by the senate in the committee of the whole after a screening exercise last week.
The senators spent hours asking them questions on portfolios assigned to them by the president.
The upper legislative chamber confirmed 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.
Others are Idi Mukhtar Maiha as minister of livestock development, Jumoke Oduwole as minister of trade and investment, and Suwaiba Said Ahmad as the minister of state for education.
About two weeks ago, Tinubu sacked five ministers and asked the senate to screen and confirm these new ones to fill vacant and new portfolios in his cabinet.
