President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has dismissed six ministers from his cabinet and submitted seven ministerial nominees to the National Assembly to fill the vacant positions.
The relieved ministers include Prof. Tahir Mamman (Education), Uju Kennedy Ohanenye (Women Affairs), Mohammed Gwarzo (State for Housing), Jamila Ibrahim (Youth Development), Lola Ade-John (Tourism), and the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Betta Edu, who has also been replaced.
Among the new nominees forwarded to the National Assembly is Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu, the wife of the late Dim Odeimegwu Ojukwu, for confirmation.
Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, announced these changes while addressing State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Additionally, President Tinubu has rebranded the Ministry of Niger Delta, renaming it the Ministry of Regional Development. The President previously indicated that he would not hesitate to dismiss ministers who had underperformed during his first year in office.
