President Bola Tinubu has named Bianca Ojukwu, widow of the late Biafran leader Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, as the new Minister of State for Foreign Affairs. This announcement, made following Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting, is part of a wider cabinet shake-up aimed at enhancing the administration’s international diplomacy and global relations strategy. Ojukwu, a former ambassador to Spain and a seasoned diplomat, is expected to bring her extensive experience in foreign relations to the role.
Alongside her appointment, Tinubu also named Jumoke Oduwole as Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, signaling his administration’s focus on bolstering economic development through key sectors. The president also announced five other ministerial appointments as part of this restructuring.
This move is seen as part of Tinubu’s ongoing efforts to build a more dynamic and responsive government, with an emphasis on strengthening Nigeria’s diplomatic ties and economic prospects in the international arena.
