President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday swore in seven new
Ministers who have been screened and confirmed by the Senate.
The swearing-in at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) was
done in two batches of four and three each.
The first set was Henry Ikechukwu Ikoh – Abia State, Umana
Okon Umana – Akwa Ibom State, Odum Odih – Rivers State, and Ademola Adewole
Adegoroye – Ondo State.
The second batch included Umar Ibrahim El-Yakub – Kano State, Goodluck Nnana Opiah – Imo State and Egwumakama Joseph Nkama – Ebonyi State.
Before the swearing-in, a minute’s silence was observed in
honour of Mohammed Barkindo, the 4th Organisation of Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC) Secretary-General, who died at the age of 63 on Tuesday.
Last Tuesday, the Senate eventually received the list of
seven nominees from Buhari for consideration and confirmation as Ministers.
They will replace Ministers who resigned in May 2022 to
pursue their political ambition.
The new Ministers will now join the Buhari administration
which has less than one year left in office.
