President Bola Tinubu swore in seven new cabinet members at the State House’s Council Chamber in Abuja.
This follows their ratification by the Senate on Thursday, when all seven nominations were approved after being individually reviewed.
The new cabinet members took the oath of office in two batches—four in the first and three in the second—after their citations were read by Abiodun Oladunjoye, the State House Director of Information.
The first four appointees are Idi Maiha (Minister of Livestock Development), Yusuf Ata (Minister of State, Housing and Urban Development), Dr. Suwaiba Ahmad (Minister of State, Education), and Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu (Minister of State, Foreign Affairs).
Subsequently, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole (Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment), Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda (Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction), and Muhammadu Dingyadi (Minister of Labour and Employment) took their oaths before the President.
In a major cabinet reshuffle on October 23, Tinubu approved the reassignment of 10 ministers to new portfolios, dismissed five others, and nominated seven new ministers for the Senate for confirmation.
