Nigeria’s President Swears In Two New Ministers
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially sworn in two newly appointed Ministers into his cabinet during a ceremony held at the Council Chamber of the State House in Abuja. The swearing-in marks another phase of renewal within the administration’s leadership as the government continues to strengthen key sectors for national development.
The newly appointed Ministers are Dr. Bernard Mohammed Doro and Mr. Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh (SAN), both of whom were recently confirmed by the Nigerian Senate. Their confirmation followed individual screening sessions that validated their qualifications and suitability for the ministerial roles.
According to Cjsoftflix News (www.cjsoftflix.com
), the two new cabinet members took their oath of office together after their profiles were read by the State House Assistant Director of Information, Oche Egwa. The ceremony was conducted under the supervision of top government officials and members of the Federal Executive Council.
President Tinubu nominated Dr. Bernard Doro from Plateau State to fill the vacant position in the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction. His nomination, submitted to the Senate earlier in October 2025, received swift approval following the upper chamber’s final deliberation and confirmation process.
Similarly, Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh (SAN) was nominated to represent Enugu State, replacing Uche Nnaji, the former Minister of Science, Innovation, and Technology, who resigned after being accused of certificate forgery. The Senate confirmed Udeh’s appointment during its plenary session held just hours before the swearing-in ceremony at the Presidential Villa.
Before his new appointment, Mr. Udeh served as the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Enugu State, where he earned recognition for his integrity and reform-driven leadership. His new position in the Federal Executive Council is expected to enhance legal and technological reforms within the federal framework.
Following their oath-taking, both Ministers immediately joined the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, which was already in progress at the State House. The session marked their first official participation in the top policy-making body of the Tinubu administration.
During the meeting, the Council observed a minute of silence in honour of Solomon Ewuga, a former Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) under the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo, who passed away on September 23, 2025.
The late Ewuga, a respected political figure from Nasarawa State, also served as Deputy Governor (1999–2002) under Governor Abdullahi Adamu, and later became Senator for Nasarawa North Senatorial District (2011–2015). He was later appointed Ambassador to Angola during the Goodluck Jonathan administration, where he further contributed to Nigeria’s foreign relations.
The Council also paid tribute to Major General Abdullahi Mohammed Adangba, a distinguished military officer who served as Chief of Staff to former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. Major General Adangba passed away at the age of 86, leaving behind a legacy of disciplined service and national dedication.
In attendance at the Federal Executive Council meeting were top government functionaries, including the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume; the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack; the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; and the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.
Also present were the majority of serving Ministers, who joined the President in welcoming the two new cabinet members and paying respects to the late national figures. The event underscored President Tinubu’s continued focus on governance, leadership continuity, and the integration of competent individuals into the administration.
