Tinubu Shakes Up Cabinet with Seven Ministerial Nominees Confirmed by Senate

President Bola Tinubu made an important move in Nigeria's political arena by requesting the Senate to confirm seven new ministerial nominees.

This request was formally presented in a letter from the executive, read aloud by Senate President Godswill Akpabio on the floor of the upper legislative chamber.

This development is part of a broader cabinet reshuffle initiated by President Tinubu, which saw the dismissal of at least five ministers and the dissolution of two ministries.

In addition to these changes, new portfolios were assigned to some existing ministers.

The reshuffle reflects Tinubu's strategic efforts to address governance challenges and streamline his administration's focus.

A point of particular interest in this reshuffle is President Tinubu's decision to retain Matawalle, despite facing allegations of banditry.

This decision has sparked discussions and raised questions about the criteria for retaining or dismissing ministers within the current administration.

In related news, Uju Kennedy, who was removed as Minister of Women's Affairs, has publicly addressed her dismissal, adding another layer to the unfolding political narrative.

Meanwhile, the Tinubu administration continues to emphasize its commitment to achieving universal health coverage, underscoring health as a top priority.
