President Tinubu swears in three new ministers
President Bola Tinubu on Monday swore in three new ministers during the second Federal Executive Council held at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The new cabinet members are Malam Balarabe Lawal from Kaduna State as Minister of Environment, Jamila Bio-Ibrahim from Kwara as Minister of Youths and Ayodele Olawande from Ondo, as Minister of State for Youths.
The ministers were the three nominated by Tinubu to take charge of the newly created Ministry of Youths and a replacement for former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir el-Rufai.
The Ministry of Youth was formerly with the Ministry of Youths and Sports Development.
El-Rufai was rejected during the Senate ministerial screening process when a member brought up a petition against him.
