President Bola Tinubu has told the newly appointed ministers that they were called to serve, urging them to join hands with him to rescue Nigeria from its current challenges.
Tinubu gave the charge after swearing in the ministers in Abuja, following their screening and clearance by the National Assembly.
The President said that service is the hallmark of human endeavour.
Tinubu expressed optimism about the country’s economic recovery.
He equally acknowledged the challenges Nigerians face, including high cost of living, but highlighted progress in paying the new minimum wage and reducing debt servicing from 97 per cent to 65 per cent of revenue.
“We have a good path to realise our dreams and it is not just only for us, it is for our children and grandchildren,” he said.
The new ministers sworn in are Dr Nentawe Yilwatda, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi, Minister of Labour & Employment and Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
Others are Jumoke Oduwole, Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment (Trade and Investment), Idi Mukhtar Maiha, Minister of Livestock Development, Yusuf Ata, Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Dr Suwaiba Ahmad, Minister of State for Education.
Tinubu thanked the National Assembly for their efficient review and approval of the new ministers.
In her remarks, Odumegwu-Ojukwu, expressed gratitude to Tinubu for her appointment and reaffirmed her commitment to aligning with the government’s foreign policy objectives.
“The President has made things easier by establishing a clear foreign policy direction,” she said.
