Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, Dele Alake, his Solid Minerals counterpart, are among those who were not affected in the cabinet reshuffle of President Bola Tinubu.

Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, are also among those who retained their portfolios.

Tinubu had approved the restructuring of ministries as part of efforts to boost his administration’s performance.

While five Ministers were shown the way out, seven others were appointed into the administration.

However, while some ministers were reassigned new portfolios, others maintained status quo.

The President thanked the outgoing members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) for their service to the nation while wishing them the best in their future endeavours.

He charged the newly appointed ministers as well as their reassigned colleagues to see their appointment as a call to serve the nation, stressing that all appointees must understand the administration’s eagerness and determination to set Nigeria on the path to irreversible growth and invest the best of their abilities into the actualisation of the
government’s priorities.
