Tinubu Rejigs Cabinet, Removes Finance and Housing Ministers

In a significant move aimed at injecting new vigor into his administration, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has initiated a minor cabinet reshuffle, removing Wale Edun from his post as Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, and Ahmed Musa Dangiwa as Minister of Housing and Urban Development. This decision, communicated via a statement from the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, signals a strategic realignment to enhance governance and accelerate the delivery of the administration's 'Renewed Hope Agenda.' Taiwo Oyedele, previously the Minister of State in the Finance Ministry, is appointed as the substantive Minister of Finance. Concurrently, Muttaqha Rabe Darma (PhD) has been nominated to lead the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development. The directive for all handover and takeover processes to be completed by Thursday, April 23rd, 2026, underscores the urgency of these changes. President Tinubu, exercising his constitutional powers, expressed gratitude to the outgoing ministers for their service and assured all cabinet members that this process of revitalization will be ongoing. This reshuffle is seen not just as a change in personnel but as a deliberate effort to foster greater cohesion and synergy within the Federal Executive Council, ultimately driving more impactful economic outcomes for Nigerians.
