Nigerian President Bola Tinubu swore in ministers to his cabinet on Monday, nearly three months after his inauguration.
The President swore in 45 ministers who were earlier cleared by the Senate. He appointed former investment banker Olawale Edun as finance minister and coordinating minister for the economy, and Heineken Lokpobiri as junior minister of petroleum and Ekperipe Ekpo as junior minister of gas resources. A main petroleum minister has yet to be appointed.
The inauguration was held at the State House Conference Center, Abuja.
Apart from the new ministers and Mr Tinubu, the event was also attended by dignitaries such as Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House Representatives Tajudeen Abass and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
The ministers were sworn in in batches but were all inaugurated on Monday.
