Acting President Yemi Osinbajo Swears In 2 New Ministers

 Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has sworn in two ministers – Stephen Ocheni (Kogi) Suleiman Hassan (Gombe) – just before the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja.

Ocheni and Hassan were confirmed by the Senate in May.

Ocheni replaces the late Minister of State for Labour, James Ocholi, who died in a ghastly auto-crash along Kaduna-Abuja highway in 2016, while Hassan takes the place of Amina Mohammed.

Mohammed resigned as Minister of Environment to take up the job of Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN).

Their portfolios are yet to be announced.
