President Tinubu to swear in seven new ministers

President Bola Tinubu is set to swear in seven new ministers into his cabinet today, November 4.

The announcement was made by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, via his X account on Sunday.

The swearing-in ceremony will take place at the Council Chamber of the State House in Abuja. The new ministers include:

– Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction
– Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi, Minister of Labour and Employment
– Bianca Odinaka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs
– Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment
– Idi Mukhtar Maiha, Minister of Livestock Development
– Yusuf Abdullahi Ata, Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development
– Dr. Suwaiba Said Ahmad, Minister of State for Education

These appointments come after the Senate confirmed the nominees last week following a comprehensive screening process.

This swearing-in follows a significant cabinet reshuffle on October 23, during which President Tinubu reassigned ten ministers to new roles and discharged five others.
