President Bola Tinubu is set to swear in seven new ministers on Monday, November 4, 2024, at the State House in Abuja.
The newly appointed ministers include Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction; Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi, Labour & Employment; Bianca Odinaka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, State Foreign Affairs; Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, Industry, Trade and Investment; Idi Mukhtar Maiha, Livestock Development; Yusuf Abdullahi Ata, State Housing and Urban Development; and Dr. Suwaiba Said Ahmad, State Education.
The swearing-in ceremony follows President Tinubu’s recent cabinet reshuffle, which saw five ministers discharged and ten reassigned to new portfolios. The move aims to address Nigeria’s economic and security challenges.
The presidency has clarified that the discharged ministers were not sacked, but rather reassigned to align with the administration’s governance strategies. The cabinet reshuffle is expected to promote inclusive governance and address concerns of marginalized groups.
Nigerians await fresh initiatives from the new ministers, who are expected to contribute to economic growth, tackle insecurity, and enhance governance.
The swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for 11 am on Monday at the Council Chamber of the State House.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will swear in the new seven ministers tomorrow Monday.
