Goodluck To Swear In 11 New Ministers Today

President Goodluck Jonathan will today swear in the 11 new ministers recently cleared by the Senate.

 The ministers will be sworn in shortly before the commencement of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting that will hold inside the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

 There is however anxiety in the cabinet that with the coming on board of the new ministers, some of the existing ones will be dropped while some others will swap positions.

“There are indeed speculations that the President will ask more ministers, especially the ones with political ambitions to go but the one that I am sure of is that there will be swapping of positions among some serving ministers and the new ones will be assigned portfolios,” a Presidency source said.

 Those that will be sworn in are Senator Musiliu Obanikoro (Lagos); Mohammed Wakil (Borno); Alhaji Abduljelili Adesiyan (Osun); Ambassador Aminu Wali (Kano); Mrs. Akon Eyakenyi (Akwa Ibom); and Lawrencia Labaran (Kaduna).

 Others are, Dr. Tamuno Danagogo (Rivers); Asabe Ahmed (Niger); Gen. Aliu Gusau (Zamfara); Mr. Boni Haruna (Adamawa); and Dr. Khaliru Alhassan (Sokoto).
