On Wednesday, President Bola Tinubu took decisive action, removing five ministers while redeploying ten and appointing seven new nominees to fill the vacancies.

This reshuffle also reinstated Betta Edu, who had previously been suspended, and included Simon Lalong, who left his cabinet position to join the Senate.

The Senate promptly screened and confirmed these appointments. Betta Edu faced suspension in January, and Simon Lalong resigned to pursue a seat in the upper legislative chamber.

Calls for a cabinet reshuffle had intensified, with many Nigerians expressing dissatisfaction over the ministers’ performances amid soaring inflation, a challenging economic landscape, and increasing insecurity.

Despite this shake-up, 31 ministers retained their positions and were neither sacked nor redeployed.
