President Bola Tinubu on Thursday swore in two new ministers — Dr Bernard Doro from Plateau and Dr Kingsley Udeh (SAN) from Enugu State.‎

‎The brief swearing-in ceremony was held at the Council Chambers of the State House, Abuja, shortly before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, attended by all cabinet members.
‎
‎Tinubu urged the newly appointed ministers to bring their wealth of experience to bear in the discharge of their duties, stressing the importance of efficiency and service delivery.
‎
Our correspondent reports that Doro, a pharmacist and lawyer, replaces Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, who now serves as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
‎
‎Udeh fills the vacancy created by the resignation of former Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology, Uche Nnaji, who resigned recently following controversies surrounding his academic credentials.
‎
‎Udeh previously served as the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Enugu State before his appointment as minister.
‎
‎The two new ministers were earlier screened and cleared by the Senate.
‎
‎The portfolios of the new ministers were yet to be announced as at the time of filing this report.
