Festus Keyamo Makes Tinubu's Ministers List

POSTED ON August 4, 2023 •   Politics      BY Samuel O . Adeniyi

Former Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, Festus Keyamo has been nominated to be Minister.

President Bola Tinubu made last-minute adjustments to the list of ministerial nominees list to include Festus Keyamo.

He withdrew the nomination of Dr Mariam Shetty, who was initially nominated from Kano State and replaced her with Mariga Mahmud.

To replace Shetty, the President nominated Festus Keyamo, the former spokesperson for the Bola Tinubu presidential campaign council.

The announcement of Dr Mariam Shetty's nomination sparked various reactions on social media, particularly on Twitter. Nigerians expressed mixed opinions regarding the choice.

President Tinubu had previously sent a list of 28 nominees on August 2, and on Wednesday, he submitted an additional list of 19 nominees to complement the earlier one.

As the nomination process continues, Nigerians will closely watch for further developments and the final composition of the ministerial team.
