Nigeria’s Acting President Yemi Osinbajo will swear in two new ministers on Wednesday, according to the Presidency.
The two ministers, Stephen Ocheni from Kogi State and Suleiman Hassan from Gombe State were cleared by the Senate on May 3.
Laolu Akande, Mr. Osinbajo’s spokesperson, confirmed that the two ministers would be inaugurated on Wednesday before the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting.
“AgP Osinbajo would be swearing in the two new ministers already confirmed by the Senate tomorrow morning @ start of the Federal Exco meeting,” Mr. Akande stated on his official twitter handle.
The swearing in of the two ministerial nominees by the Acting President long after they were cleared by the Senate is expected to put to rest the speculations that have trailed the delay.
