The president also appointed a former Jigawa State governor, Abubakar Badaru, as minister of defence, and Hannatu Musawa as minister of arts, culture and creative industry.
Others include Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, as minister of justice and attorney general of the federation, while former Osun State governor, Gboyega Oyetola, will serve as minister of transportation. Meanwhile, the portfolio of minister of environment and ecological management was reserved for Kaduna State, which has no nominee so far.
The president did not assign anyone to the petroleum ministry so it is expected he will oversee the ministry like his predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari. Also, there is no minister or Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, which indicates it may have been scrapped.
