President Bola Tinubu has sworn in seven newly-appointed ministers at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Tinubu sworn in the new ministers on Monday, November 4, 2024.
Those sworn in are Nentawe Yilwatda (Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction), Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi (Minister of Labour and Employment), and Bianca Odinaka Odumegwu-Ojukwu (Minister of State Foreign Affairs).
Others include Jumoke Oduwole (Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment), Idi Mukhtar Maiha (Minister of Livestock Development), Yusuf Abdullahi Ata (Minister of State, Housing, and Urban Development), and Suwaiba Said Ahmad (Minister of State Education).
Tinubu enjoined the new ministers not to shy away from responsibilities, saying: “Nigeria’s head is above the waters. This ship will not sink. We will not run away from our responsibilities.
“I am proud to lead you and we will lead you to success and prosperity. We have taken the bull by the horns. We have stopped the scavengers and profiteers.”
The swearing-in of the ministers came days after their appointments by Tinubu and subsequent confirmation by the Senate.
