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.
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has expressed confidence that the northern region will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next election.
According to Matawalle, the administration has delivered major infrastructure projects and development initiatives across the region.
“For us in the North, our votes for the APC and President Tinubu will show clearly that we appreciate what he’s doing for the region.”
He added “If you see the dualisation of the Abuja–Kaduna, Zaria–Sokoto, and Ilela–Badagry expressways, you will agree with me that the North is experiencing key projects it never had in the past, even when a northerner was president.”
It was reported and revealed by the National Coordinator of the Obi Movement that an attack occurred at the movement against Peter Obi in Edo State.
He stated that the armed people had guns and shot at Peter Obi and his members of the movement.
“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in what appears to be a survived assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”
