President Bola Tinubu, on Monday, officially inaugurated the seven new ministers cleared by the Senate last week Thursday.
President Tinubu swore them in at a ceremony held at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The swearing-in ceremony, attended by senior government officials, marked the addition of fresh leadership to Tinubu’s administration.
These new ministers will be instrumental in addressing pressing national issues across key sectors, including infrastructure, security, and economic stability.

Their appointments come as part of a broader government restructuring to boost efficiency and accountability.
