VAM News Update

President Bola Tinubu has sworn in 45 ministers-designate.

 

 

The ceremony was held at the banquet hall of the presidential villa in the federal capital territory (FCT).

 

The president had asked the senate to confirm 48 ministerial nominees but only 45 were cleared.

 

Nasir el-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna; Stella Okotete (Delta) and Danladi Abubakar (Taraba) were not confirmed as the senate had not received security clearance about them during the confirmation hearing.

 

 

Over the weekend, the successful ministers-designate had their documentation at the office of the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF).

 

The national assembly is currently on its annual recess and the senate might not attend to any issue concerning the unsuccessful ministerial nominees until September.

 

David Umahi, former governor of Ebonyi; Festus Keyamo, Ali Pate, and Betta Edu, national women leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), have taken their oaths of office as ministers.

 

All 45 ministers have been sworn in.
