State House, Abuja – President Bola Tinubu has thanked the outgoing members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) for their service to the nation and wished them the best in their future endeavours.
This was contained in a statement issued by Dada Olusegun, special assistant to the president on social media, on Wednesday, October 23, 2024.
In the statement, Tinubu also charged the newly appointed ministers to see their appointments as a call to serve the nation.
Recall that Tinubu, on Wednesday, rejig his cabinet. In the process, he sacked some ministers and made fresh appointments.
The president also made some significant changes to Nigeria’s ministerial structure. The Ministry of Niger Delta Development and the Ministry of Sports Development were scrapped.
This was announced at the latest Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja. The development follows the presidency’s earlier indication of a possible cabinet reshuffle, as the ministers have been in their roles for over a year.
It also comes amid growing criticisms against Tinubu’s government due to hardship facing Nigerians.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Tinubu appointed seven new ministers to his cabinet.
The appointment was announced in a statement issued by the presidency following the federal executive council meeting.
Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu was appointed as minister of state for foreign affairs, while Jumoke Oduwole was named minister of industry, trade, and investment.
