In a significant cabinet reshuffle, President Bola Tinubu has retained key ministers, including Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and Dele Alake, Minister of Solid Minerals. This decision highlights the administration’s desire for stability in crucial sectors.
The reshuffle also confirmed Wale Edun as the Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, while Festus Keyamo remains Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development. These appointments reflect President Tinubu’s confidence in these leaders as he seeks to strengthen government performance.
The restructuring involved the dismissal of five ministers and the appointment of seven new members to the Federal Executive Council (FEC). Despite several reassignments, some ministers, like Wike and Alake, have retained their original portfolios, signaling continued trust in their leadership.
President Tinubu thanked outgoing ministers for their service and encouraged new appointees to embrace their roles as a call to national service. He emphasized the need for commitment to Nigeria’s growth and the realization of the administration’s objectives.
Ministers who retained their portfolios include Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi (Agriculture and Food Security), Festus Keyamo (Aviation), Bello Matawalle (Defence), and Wale Edun (Finance), among others.
This reshuffle aims to bolster the government’s capacity to meet its developmental goals while ensuring continuity in key sectors.
