President Tinubu new ministerial appointments

President Bola Tinubu has appointed seven new ministers in a strategic cabinet reshuffle aimed at boosting administrative efficiency and delivering on his promises.

 

[dropcap]P[/dropcap]resident Bola Tinubu has appointed seven new ministers to his cabinet in a significant reshuffle aimed at enhancing his administration’s effectiveness.

The announcement came shortly after the Federal Executive Council meeting on Wednesday, with the presidency issuing a statement detailing the changes.

The statement highlighted Tinubu’s commitment to delivering on his promises to Nigerians through the “immediate implementation of eight far-reaching actions to reinvigorate the administration’s capacity for optimal efficiency.”

This reshuffle marks an important moment for Tinubu’s administration, which has been in office for over a year.

Among the new appointees is Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, who has been named Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.

Ojukwu, widow of the late Biafra leader Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, brings extensive diplomatic experience, having previously served as Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain and the country’s Senior Special Assistant on Diaspora Affairs under former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Jumoke Oduwole, who had been Tinubu’s Special Adviser on the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) and Investment, has been appointed Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment. Oduwole replaces Doris Uzoka-Anite, who has now been reassigned as the Minister of State Finance.

Maigari Dingyadi has been appointed Minister of Labour and Employment, while Idi Maiha takes charge of the newly created Ministry for Livestock Development, reflecting the administration’s focus on agriculture and rural development.

Yusuf Ata has been named Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, and Suwaiba Ahmad has been appointed Minister of State for Education. Additionally, Dr. Nentawe Yilwada takes over as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, replacing Betta Edu.

These appointments are part of the broader cabinet reshuffle that saw several ministers reassigned and others dismissed.

Uju-Ken Ohanenye has been removed as Minister of Women’s Affairs, Lola Ade-John as Minister of Tourism, Tahir Mamman as Minister of Education, Abdullahi Gwarzo as Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, and Jamila Ibrahim as Minister of Youth Development.

In addition to the seven new ministers, ten ministers have been reassigned to different portfolios in what appears to be a strategic effort by the President to strengthen the government’s performance and drive key reforms.

Tinubu’s administration has faced mounting pressure to meet the expectations of Nigerians, particularly in economic and social development areas.

This reshuffle signals the President’s intent to address these challenges and accelerate progress on his administration’s key objectives.

The new appointments also include an emphasis on gender balance and expertise, with several women being appointed to prominent positions.
