The memo announced the exit of two cabinet members, Wale Edun and Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, with their replacements already named.
Edun, who served as Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, has been directed to hand over to Taiwo Oyedele, who now assumes the role. Oyedele previously held the position of Minister of State in the ministry.
Additionally, Muttaqha Rabe Darma has been named as ministerial nominee and minister-designate for the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development. Dangiwa has been instructed to hand over to the Minister of State in the ministry pending Darma’s confirmation.
