BREAKING NEWS: Tinubu Sacks Finance, Housing Minister in Cabinet Reshuffle
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has removed the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, and the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, in a cabinet reshuffle aimed at repositioning key sectors of the economy.
The decision was conveyed through an official statement issued by the Presidency, directing the affected ministers to hand over their duties with immediate effect.
In their place, the President appointed Taiwo Oyedele as the new Minister of Finance, while Muttaqha Rabe Darma was named Minister-designate for Housing and Urban Development.
The reshuffle comes amid ongoing economic reforms and growing concerns over performance in critical sectors. Analysts say the changes signal the administration’s determination to strengthen policy execution and improve service delivery.
Both ministries—Finance and Housing—are considered central to the government’s economic and infrastructure agenda, making the changes significant despite being described as a targeted adjustment.
The Presidency also set a short timeline for the transition process, with outgoing ministers expected to complete handover procedures within days.
Observers will now be watching closely to see how the new appointees navigate the challenges in their respective sectors and deliver on the administration’s reform agenda.
