President Muhammadu Buhari has
appointed the Minister of State for Power, Works and Housing, Suleiman Hassan
to take charge of the Environment Ministry following the resignation of, Alhaji
Ibrahim Usman Jibril.
It was gathered that Hassan who
hails from Gombe state, was mandated to takeover the Environment Ministry at
yesterday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President
Muhammadu Buhari.
A presidential source told Daily
Trust last night that Hassan has been asked to immediately take charge of the
Environment Ministry.
“Yes, it is the Minister of State
Power, Works and Housing II, Suleiman Hassan that has been asked to takeover
the Environment Ministry,” he said.
Recall that Jibril’s resignation
came days after his emergence as Emir of Nasarawa.
Jibril was appointed as the
Minister of State for Environment in December 2015 when the council was
constituted after a senate screening and confirmation.
