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.
Tonye Cole speaks out on Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s emergence and continuation as the Governor of Rivers State.
He shared his thoughts, saying the governor likely consulted with his close allies before making key decisions.
“My assumption is that the governor would have gone with his own close allies, discussed with them, and said that this is the best way, that he has to move forward for the next six months or thereabouts of his administration. I would assume that’s what he did.”
“But I am not in his chamber, so I wouldn’t know. But that’s what I would assume he would do.”
He added “But having taken the responsibility to come and finish his term, then he has to finish it in the way that allows him to govern. He can’t go back into fighting.”
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
