President Bola Tinubu has sworn in seven
ministers-designates.
The ceremony was held in the council chamber of the Aso Rock
villa on Monday.
The ministers-designate were confirmed by the senate in the
committee of the whole after a screening exercise last week.
The senators spent hours asking them questions on portfolios
assigned to them by the president.
The upper legislative chamber confirmed Nentawe Yilwatda as
minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation, Muhammadu Maigari
Dingyadi as minister of labour and employment, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu as
minister of state for foreign affairs, and Yusuf Abdullahi Ata as minister of
state for housing and urban development.
Others are Idi Mukhtar Maiha as minister of livestock
development, Jumoke Oduwole as minister of trade and investment, and Suwaiba
Said Ahmad as the minister of state for education.
About two weeks ago, Tinubu sacked five ministers and asked
the senate to screen and confirm these new ones to fill vacant and new
portfolios in his cabinet.
