President Goodluck Jonathan has sworn-in the four new ministers whose nomination was approved by the National Assembly last week just before the beginning of the Federal Executive Council, FEC meeting on Wednesday 9 July.
The four ministers are Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, Stephen Oru, Adedayo Adeyeye and Abdul Bulama.
The President also announced the portfolios for the new ministers and also effected a minor reshuffle of the cabinet.
Mallam Shekarau who defected from the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party few months ago was appointed the Minister of Education while Chief Adeyeye was named Minister of State for Works. Oru was appointed Minister of Niger Delta while Bulama was named Minister of Science and Technology.


In the cabinet reshuffle, the President moved the current Minister of State for Works, Bashir Yuguda to be the Minster of State for Finance and substantive Minister of National Planning.
President Jonathan while congratulating the new ministers on their appointment urged them to work hard not to only impress him but also Nigerians as they were coming in at the ‘injury time’.
He asked them to quickly adjust and begin work.

“This government has less than a year to go and you have been brought in this time, so you know the reason why you have been brought in.”

  1. The only reason they were brought in is to reward Shekarau for betraying APC and nepotism for the rest.. This our ruler is so corrupt his antics would be laughable if he was ruling a lesser nation than this.. He presidentially pardons Alamesiaghe and gives Abacha a posthumous award, he dances in political campaigns when children are being slaughtered and kidnapped... Yet pays lip service to an anti Corruption crusade.
    I would laugh if only I could stop crying out of shame, rage and frustration!!!
