Tinubu sacks five ministers

President Bola Tinubu has dismissed five ministers in a significant cabinet reshuffle aimed at enhancing the performance of his administration. The shake-up, which was announced earlier today, comes as Tinubu looks to refocus key sectors of government and improve service delivery.

The affected ministers, Lola Ade-John as Minister of Tourism; Tahir Mamman as Minister of Education; Abdullahi Gwarzo as Minister of State, Housing and Urban Development; and Jamila Ibrahim as Minister of Youth Development including Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, the former Minister of Women Affairs, were relieved of their duties as part of the president’s broader strategy to revitalize his government. No official reasons were provided for the individual dismissals, but the changes are seen as part of Tinubu’s effort to address pressing national challenges more effectively.
The president is expected to announce new appointees to fill the vacant positions in the coming days, as his administration continues to push for reforms across various sectors.
