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.
