TheTalk.NG journalist Ridwan Adeola Yusuf has over nine years of experience covering elections, politics and governance.

FCT, Abuja – President Bola Tinubu on Monday, November 4, in Abuja, swore in the new seven ministers.

TheTalk.NG reports that the ministers are: Bianca Odinaka Odumegwu-Ojukwu – minister of state foreign affairs; Nentawe Yilwatda, minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty reduction; Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi – minister of labour and employment.

Others are Idi Mukhtar Maiha – minister of livestock development; Jumoke Oduwole – minister of industry, trade and investment (trade and investment); Yusuf Abdullahi Ata – minister of state, housing and urban development and Suwaiba Said Ahmad – minister of state education.

TheTalk.NG recalls that the senate cleared the new ministers last week.

See the video of the ministers at the council chambers below, as shared on X by The Punch.

TheTalk.NG reports that calls for the reshuffling of President Tinubu’s cabinet reached new levels in the wake of Nigeria’s dwindling economic fortunes which have worsened the living standards across the country.

President Tinubu heeded the calls in October, dismissing five ministers and nominating seven others. Those dismissed included Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye (women affairs); Lola Ade-John (tourism); Tahir Mamman (minister of education); Abdullahi Gwarzo (state, housing and urban development), and Jamila Ibrahim (youth development).

This was in addition to the reassignment of new portfolios to 10 other ministers.
