President Bola Tinubu has sacked five ministers and redeployed 10 others in a major cabinet reshuffle on Wednesday.
The decision to sack the ministers was arrived at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday in Abuja.
Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga said in the reshuffle, Tinubu appointed new ministers for humanitarian and poverty reduction, trade and investment, labour, livestock development and junior ministers for foreign affairs, education and housing.
Key cabinet members including the ministers of finance, defence, national planning and two junior energy ministers all retained their positions.
But the ministers for education, tourism, women affairs, youth development and the junior housing minister were sacked, Onanuga said.
“The President thanked the outgoing members of the Federal Executive Council for their service to the nation while wishing them the best in their future endeavours,” Onanuga said.
