The affected ministers include Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, Minister of Women Affairs; Lola Ade-John, Minister of Tourism; Tahir Mamman, Minister of Education; Abdullahi Gwarzo, Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development; and Jamila Ibrahim, Minister of Youth Development.
The presidency issued a statement announcing the changes, but no reasons were provided for their removal from the cabinet.

Omokri Took to popular social media platform X to react to the sack of Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye as Minister of Women Affairs.
He wrote on X: @renoomokri The sacking of Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye, the Minister of Women Affairs of Nigeria, is a praiseworthy move by the President.
This woman is more suited for the World Wrestling Federation than for a role in government. Constantly engaging in petty squabbles and disrupting events and occasions.
And her meddlesomeness in cultures she does not understand, like the marriage of 100 orphaned girls in Niger State, which was consensual and did not involve underaged girls, was a major setback for the popularity of the administration in the North.
I commend the President for showing her the door. He needs a person whose temperament is calm, with a more contemplative attitude, such that they think long term and begin with the end in mind before speaking and acting.
Additionally, the coming on board of Ambassador Bianca Onoh is a significant plus for the administration.
This is a woman I know personally, and can vouch that she has the character and breeding to bring class and polish to the Federal Executive Council.
