Edun and Dangiwa Resign from Nigeria's Cabinet

Wale Edun, the former Minister of Finance, and Ahm Dangiwa, the former Minister of Housing and Urban Development, have both voluntarily resigned from their positions in Nigeria's Federal Executive Council. President Bola Tinubu announced their resignations in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday.

Edun, who turned 70 on Monday, cited health challenges as a reason for his resignation, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to serve in the administration. His resignation letter highlighted his privilege to contribute to the government's agenda.

Similarly, Dangiwa thanked the President for the opportunity to serve and acknowledged the significance of his contributions to the administration's housing reforms. Following their exits, President Tinubu appointed Taiwo Oyeleke as the new Minister of Finance and announced that Muttaqha Rabe Darma would be forwarded to the Senate for confirmation as the new Minister of Housing and Urban Development.
