President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday swore in two new ministers at the State House. Bernard Doro and Kingsley Udeh joined the cabinet shortly before the Federal Executive Council meeting.
Doro, from Plateau State, replaces Nentawe Yilwatda as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs. Yilwatda resigned to serve as APC national chairman. Doro’s nomination was confirmed by the Senate in late October.
Udeh succeeds Uche Nnaji as Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology. The Senate approved Udeh earlier Thursday after a brief screening. He previously served as Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Enugu State.
