President Bola Tinubu has sworn in seven newly appointed ministers during a ceremony held at the Council Chambers of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The new ministers include Nentawe Yilwatda, appointed as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction; Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi as Minister of Labour and Employment; and Bianca Odinaka Odumegwu-Ojukwu as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.

Addressing the ministers, President Tinubu urged them to embrace their duties with commitment.

He said, “Nigeria’s head is above the waters. This ship will not sink. We will not run away from our responsibilities.

“I am proud to lead you and we will lead you to success and prosperity… We have taken the bull by the horns. We have stopped the scavengers and profiteers…”
