At the cabinet reshuffle, President Tinubu relieved five ministers of their duties. Below is the list of the affected ministers.

In addition to these changes, Sunday Dare, the former Minister of Youth and Sports, has been appointed as Special Adviser to the President on Public Communication and Orientation.

There's also a new appointment: Bianca Ojukwu, the widow of late Ikemba of Nnewi, Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, is now the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.

Recall that the presidency had earlier hinted at a possible cabinet reshuffle after the ministers had spent over a year in their roles.

At the inception of his administration, Tinubu appointed Hadiza Bala Usman as his special adviser on policy coordination. She was responsible for compiling the ministers' performance evaluation reports.

The report was said to have influenced Tinubu's decision on who should go or remain among his ministers. A presidential source disclosed that Tinubu recently travelled to the United Kingdom with the report.
