Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has introduced 7 new ministers to his cabinet after relieving 5 members of their duties in cabinet.
Cabinet spokesperson in engagements with reporters revealed that the 45 member cabinet saw a major reshuffle, on Wednesday, with 10 members in an even swap of governmental responsibilities.
The move, per credible news sources, is highly expected to be an ‘antidote’ to the escalating economic troubles of the nation despite being Africa’s top energy producer.
Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga speaking to journalists after the reshuffle revealed that, Tinubu appointed new ministers for humanitarian and poverty reduction, trade and investment, labour, livestock development and junior ministers for foreign affairs, education and housing.
Key cabinet members including the ministers of finance, defence, national planning and two junior energy ministers all retained their positions.
But the ministers for education, tourism, women affairs, youth development and the junior housing minister were sacked, Onanuga said.
