Tinubu Reshuffles Cabinet, Dismisses Edun and Dangiwa
On April 23, 2026, President Bola Tinubu announced the dismissal of Wale Edun and Ahm Dangiwa from their positions in the Federal Government of Nigeria. Edun was serving as the Minister of Finance and Coordinator of the Economy, while Dangiwa held the role of Minister of State for Urban Development.
The reshuffle is part of Tinubu's strategy to strengthen government cohesion and improve economic delivery under his Renewed Hope Agenda. Taiwo Oyedele has been appointed as the new Minister of Finance and Coordinator of the Economy, with a mandate to reform Nigeria's tax system and increase the tax-to-GDP ratio from 10% to 18% within three years.
Edun's dismissal follows public remarks acknowledging discrepancies in Nigeria's budget revenue projections, which contradicted the President's position. The reshuffle reflects Tinubu's exercise of powers conferred by Sections 147 and 148 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
