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.
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
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.
