Osinbajo swears in new ministers today

Two ministers-designate, Stephen Ocheni (Kogi) and Suleiman Hassan (Gombe) were today inaugurated as Federal Executive Council (FEC) members.

Acting Presidential spokesman, Mr Laolu Akande, announced this in his tweeter handle late Tuesday night, and said that Acting President Yemi Osinbajo would perform the ceremony.





Akande said that the inauguration of the ministers would precede the FEC meeting at the council’s chamber of the Presidential Villa.

Ocheni and Hassan were confirmed by the Senate in May.

Ocheni replaces the late Minister of State for Labour, Mr James Ocholi, who died in a ghastly auto-crash along Kaduna-Abuja highway in 2016, while Hassan takes the place of Amina Mohammed.

Mohammed resigned as Minister of Environment to take up the job of Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations.
