President Tinubu To Inaugurate New Ministers As FEC Meets Today

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will today (Monday) inaugurate three additional ministers into his 48-person cabinet.

A senior official in the Presidency, who did not want his name mentioned because he was not authorized to speak on the matter, confirmed in an interview that the three new ministers will be inaugurated into office at the Council Chamber of the State House before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council meeting.

Monday’s FEC meeting is the second since Tinubu’s inauguration as President on May 29. It is coming after a 48-day hiatus.

The Council has not convened since its inaugural meeting on August 28. A week earlier, on August 21, Tinubu swore in and inaugurated 45 ministers.

The three additional ministers to be inaugurated are Jamila Bio, Ayodele Olawande, and Balarabe Lawal from Kaduna State.

Bio and Olawande are expected to be inaugurated as the Minister of Youth and the Minister of State for Youth, respectively.

Following a letter by Tinubu, the Senate had no October 4 screened and confirmed the three additional ministers.
