President Tinubu Relooks Allocation Of Portfolios , Reassigns Oyetola To Blue Economy Ministry…. Asks Ojo To Oversee Interior Ministry
Ahead of the swearing- in ceremony of members of the new Federal Executive Council, President Bola Tinubu has taken a relook at allocation of portfolios and he has reassigned Engineer Abubakar Momoh to the Ministry of Niger Delta Development.. He had earlier gotten named as Minister –designate , Ministry of Youth.
Immediate past governor of Osun state, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, who was earlier named as minister-designate, Ministry of Transportation, will now be in charge of the Ministry of Marine & Blue Economy.
This development apparently showed that the Ministry of Transportation has gotten ‘unbundled’ and the Ministry of Marine & Blue Economy may get recognized as parent ministry of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) given that ‘blue economy’ means sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, and it also centers on preservation and reclamation of the marine environment.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the president’s media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, who disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday night, also added that ‘the Federal Ministry of Youth is to be re-assigned to a minister-designate’’.
‘Adegboyega Oyetola is redeployed as the Honourable Minister of Marine & Blue Economy.
Hon. Bunmi Tunji-Ojo is redeployed as the Honourable Minister of Interior. Hon. Sa’idu Alkali is redeployed as the Honourable Minister of Transportation.
