Tinubu Set to Swear In New Ministers for a Stronger Nigeria
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to officially swear in seven new ministers on Monday.
This significant event comes after the Senate approved their appointments just last week.
Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda will take on the role of Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
He is expected to address critical issues surrounding social welfare and support systems, focusing on reducing poverty across the nation.
Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi will serve as Minister of Labour and Employment.
His responsibilities will include tackling unemployment and creating initiatives to enhance job opportunities for citizens, particularly the youth.
Bianca Odinaka Odumegwu-Ojukwu has been appointed as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
Her position will be crucial in strengthening Nigeria’s diplomatic relationships and promoting the country’s interests on the international stage.
Known for her advocacy and public service, she aims to enhance Nigeria’s image abroad.
Dr Jumoke Oduwole will step into the role of Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment.
Her experience in both the public and private sectors will be invaluable as she seeks to stimulate economic growth through strategic trade policies and investment opportunities.
Idi Mukhtar Maiha will take charge as Minister of Livestock Development.
This ministry plays a vital role in ensuring the welfare of livestock and enhancing the agricultural sector, which is a key part of Nigeria’s economy.
Yusuf Abdullahi Ata has been appointed Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development.
His focus will likely be on addressing housing shortages and improving urban planning to create sustainable living environments for Nigerians.
Finally, Dr. Suwaiba Said Ahmad will serve as Minister of State for Education.
Her work will be essential in reforming the educational sector, promoting access to quality education, and addressing challenges in schools across the country.
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has shared that she has forgiven those who betrayed her husband during the 2023 general elections.
She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.
“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”
Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.
According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.
“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”
Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.
“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
