The newly appointed ministers have arrived at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja for their swearing-in.
The Senate cleared the nominees last week following a screening in Abuja.
The new ministers were appointed after President Tinubu reshuffled the cabinet following calls for a rejig.
Tinubu sacked five ministers, nominated seven others, and forwarded their names to the Senate for confirmation. He also re-assigned ten ministers to new portfolios.
According to Channels TV, the ministerial nominees are seated at the Council Chambers in the Presidential Villa, waiting to begin the ceremony.
While the Chamber is not yet filled, other ministers and dignitaries are expected at the venue.
Recall that the presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, said in a Sunday statement that the ministerial nominees would be screened on Monday.
He said, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will swear in the new seven ministers tomorrow Monday. The Ministers are Dr Nentawe Yilwatda – Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction; Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi – Minister of Labour & Employment; Bianca Odinaka Odumegwu-Ojukwu – Minister of State Foreign Affairs.
Others are Dr Jumoke Oduwole – Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment (Trade and Investment), Idi Mukhtar Maiha – Minister of Livestock Development; Yusuf Abdullahi Ata – Minister of State, Housing and Urban Development and Dr Suwaiba Said Ahmad – Minister of State Education.
