President Bola Tinubu has appointed Maigari Dingyadi as the new Minister of Labour and Employment following a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting. Dingyadi replaces the former minister and steps into this crucial role to address Nigeria’s labor issues.
Here are key facts about the new Minister of Labour and Employment:
- Maigari Dingyadi was born in 1953 in Dingyadi, Sokoto.
- He graduated from Ahmadu Bello University in 1978.
- Prior to this appointment, Dingyadi served as the Minister of Police Affairs from August 2019, a role he held under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
In a related move, President Tinubu also replaced Betta Edu, the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, with Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda. Edu had been under investigation following allegations of mismanagement involving the transfer of N585.2 million into a private bank account, although she has denied any wrongdoing.
The cabinet reshuffle reflects Tinubu’s ongoing effort to enhance the effectiveness of his administration in addressing the country’s challenges.
