President Bola Tinubu has sworn in seven newly-appointed ministers.
The swearing-in ceremony was performed at the council chamber of Aso Rock Villa on Monday.
The new cabinet members took the oath of office in two batches—four in the first batch and three in the second—after their citations were read by the State House Director of Information, Abiodun Oladunjoye.
Recall that the Senate last week screened and confirmed the nominees after the president conveyed a letter addressed to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
The president had dismissed five ministers about two weeks ago, and subsequently nominated new ones to fill the vacancies.
He also expanded his cabinet with the creation of the Ministry of Livestock Development and conversion of the Niger Delta Ministry to the Ministry of Regional Development.
The president scrapped the Ministry of Sports Development and reassigned the minister to the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment.
