By Damilare Adeleye

President Bola Tinubu will swear in seven new ministers on Monday, following their confirmation by the Senate last week.

Bayo Onanuga, special adviser on information and strategy to the president, made the development known in a post on his X page on Sunday.

The ceremony is expected to take place at the council chamber of the state house, Abuja.

“President Bola Tinubu will swear in the new seven ministers tomorrow Monday,” Onanuga wrote.

“The Senate cleared the ministers last week.”

On October 25, Tinubu sacked five ministers, reassigned 10 ministers to new portfolios, and nominated seven new ministers to the senate for confirmation.

On Wednesday, the nominations were confirmed after Senate President Godswill Akpabio put them to vote.

The confirmed nominees are Nentawe Yilwatda, minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation; Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi, minister of labour and employment; Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, minister of state for foreign affairs; and Yusuf Abdullahi Ata, minister of state, housing and urban development.

Others are Idi Mukhtar Maiha, minister of livestock development; Jumoke Oduwole, minister of trade and investment; and Suwaiba Said Ahmad as the minister of state for education.
