President Goodluck has sworn in 11 new ministers and assigned them their portfolios in Abuja today.
Shocking among the list was the swearing in of Dan Agogo as the new minister of sports which effectively marked the termination of former minister, Bolaji Abdullahi’s appointment.
This would be a major disappointment for Abdullahi, the man at the helm of affairs when the Super Eagles of Nigeria secured qualification to the 2014 world cup in Brazil. His removal is coming just 100 days to the football fiesta.
The new ministers and their portfolios are as follows:
Boni Haruna–Youths minister
Aliyu Gusau–Defence
Dan Agogo–Sports
Musiliu Obanikoro–Defence (state)
Mohammed Wakil–Power (state)
Etim Okon–Land and Housing
Lawrencia Mallam (Environment)
Asabe Ahmed–Agric (state)
Aminu Wali–Foreign Affairs)
Alhassan Haliru–Health (state)
Abdujeleel Adesiyan –Police Affairs.
The president announced that a new set of ministers would be unveiled next week.
