After a week of releasing the portfolios of confirmed ministers, the swearing-in ceremony of the 45-man cabinet of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu holds at the Conference Centre of the State House, Abuja.
Just yesterday, Sunday, President Bola Tinubu reshuffled his cabinet minister when he named Engr. Abubakar Momoh from Edo State as substantive Minister for Niger Delta Development following clamour from the region over the omission of the ministry in the apportionment of portfolios to ministers-designate last week.
Meanwhile, Momoh was previously assigned to the Ministry of Youth, which will now have another minister appointed in due course.
Former Osun State governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, has been redeployed as the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy; Hon. Bunmi Tunji-Ojo is redeployed as the Minister of Interior; and Hon. Sa’idu Alkali is redeployed as the Minister of Transportation.
Furthermore, according to the statement, both Ministers of State in the Oil and Gas sector are now domiciled in the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, with Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri being the Hon. Minister of State (Oil), Petroleum Resources, and Hon. Ekperipe Ekpo being the Hon. Minister of State (Gas), Petroleum Resources.
The statement added that President Tinubu has also approved renaming the Federal Ministry of Environment and Ecological Management as the Federal Ministry of Environment.
