Following the resignation of some ministers and subsequent reshuffling of President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet, the Senate has officially confirmed Joseph Tegbe as the Minister of Power and Sola Enikanolaiye as the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
The confirmation process moved swiftly, occurring just 24 hours after the President’s formal request was read during plenary by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
In accordance with constitutional requirements, both nominees underwent a rigorous screening process on the Senate floor before their appointments were finalized.
The new appointments address key vacancies and leadership shifts within the administration.
Tegbe steps into the role following the resignation of Adelabu, who vacated the position to pursue elective office in Oyo state.
Enikanolaiye’s nomination follows a restructuring in the foreign ministry, triggered by the elevation of Ambassador Odumegwu-Ojukwu to the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Before his nomination, Ambassador Enikanolaiye, from Kogi State, served as Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and International Relations.
