President Tinubu Inaugurates 45 Ministers Cleared By The Senate.

President Bola Tinubu took a significant step towards strengthening Nigeria's governance today by inaugurating a group of 45 ministers who were recently cleared by the Senate. The inauguration ceremony, held at the State House Banquet Hall in Abuja, was marked with optimism and a call for renewed dedication to the nation.

The President, in his address, urged the newly inaugurated ministers to rise to the occasion and fulfill the expectations of the Nigerian people. He acknowledged the challenges that lay ahead, describing them as "daunting," but expressed the government's firm resolve to bring about a Renewed Hope for the nation.

The Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Media and Publicity, Aguri Ngelale, played a crucial role in the ceremony by reading the citations of the ministers. This was followed by the ministers taking their oaths of office, which were administered by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola.
