President Bola Tinubu on Monday, swore in three more ministers at the Presidential Villa Abuja, on Monday.
Those the president has added into his 48-member cabinet are Jamila Bio Ibrahim, Ayodele Olawande and Balarabe Lawal.
They took the oath of office at 12:15 pm at the Council Chamber of the State House, before the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting began.
This comes nearly two weeks after the Senate cleared the trio after screening on October 4, 2023.
On September 17, 2023, President Tinubu nominated Ibrahim and Olawande as Minister of Youth and Minister of State for Youth, respectively.
He also requested the Senate to screen Balarabe Lawal as minister from Kaduna.
Lawal, who served as secretary to the government under former Governor Nasir El-Rufai, replaced his principal in Tinubu’s cabinet as minister of environment.
