Tinubu Swears in New Ministers for Power and Foreign Affairs

On May 6, 2026, President Bola Tinubu swore in Joseph Tegb as the Minister of Power and Sola Enikanolaiy as the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs during a ceremony at the Council Chamber in Abuja. This appointment followed the resignations of former ministers Adebayo Adelabu and Yusuf Tuggar, who stepped down to pursue electoral office in the Senate.

The new ministers were nominated on May 5, 2026, and their confirmation was screened. Enikanolaiy, a career diplomat from Kogi State, has over 35 years of experience in Nigeria's foreign service and holds a first-class degree in Political Science from Ahmadu Bello University.

Tegb, born in Ibadan, Oyo State, brings 35 years of professional experience across public and private sectors, holding degrees in Civil Engineering and Business Administration. This reshuffle is part of Tinubu's ongoing cabinet adjustments since the formation of the Federal Executive Council on August 21, 2023.
