Osinbajo Assigns Portfolio To New Ministers

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday assigned portfolios to the two ministers sworn in on July 26.

Stephen Ocheni (Kogi) is now the Minister of State for Labour while Suleiman Hassan (Gombe) is now the Minister of State for Power, Works and Housing.

While Ocheni replaced the late Minister of State for Labour, James Ocholi, who died in a ghastly auto-crash along Kaduna-Abuja highway in 2016, Hassan replaced Amina Mohammed, who resigned as Minister of Environment to take up the job of Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Osinbajo also sworn in the new permanent secretaries before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.
