This delay follows Tinubu’s recent reshuffling, where he dismissed five ministers and nominated seven new candidates for Senate confirmation. Additionally, ten ministers were reassigned to new portfolios.
Among the nominees, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu has been proposed as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, while Nentawe Yilwatda has been designated as the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, formally replacing the suspended Betta Edu. Other nominees include Maigari Dingyadi as Minister of Labour and Employment, Jumoke Oduwole as Minister of Industry, Idi Maiha for the new Ministry of Livestock Development, Yusuf Ata as Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, and Suwaiba Ahmad as Minister of State for Education.
