Tinubu Swears In New Ministers For Power, State For Foreign Affairs by adenigga(op): 5:09am On Jun 09
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially inaugurated Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe as Minister of Power and Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.

The ceremony was held on Monday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja and was attended by family members of the appointees, cabinet members and other top government officials.

The appointments followed vacancies created by the exit of former Power Minister, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, and former Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, both of whom resigned to pursue governorship ambitions in their respective states.

Following their nomination by President Tinubu, Tegbe and Enikanolaiye were screened and confirmed by the Senate on May 6, 2026.

Tegbe, a native of Ibadan in Oyo State, is widely known for his work in economic, fiscal and institutional reforms. He brings more than three decades of experience from both the public and private sectors, with a strong background in policy execution and stakeholder management.

Enikanolaiye, from Igbagun in Kogi State, graduated with a First Class degree in Political Science from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where he emerged as the best graduating student in his faculty and earned the Dean’s Prize.

He later obtained a Master’s degree in International Law and Diplomacy from the University of Lagos, graduating with distinction.

A seasoned diplomat, Enikanolaiye has represented Nigeria in several countries, serving in diplomatic missions in Ethiopia, Serbia, Canada and the United Kingdom.

His most recent overseas assignment was as Nigeria’s Head of Mission in New Delhi, India.

Before joining the Federal Executive Council, he served as Senior Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Foreign Affairs and International Relations in the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President.

Na so o.

JagaBandiit of Borgu is proactive in balablu, bulaba BS propaganda lies and fake announcements to excite his unevolved, tribalistic, zoning and rotation advocates, national cake sharing corruption crew.

How much are you paying for petroleum now, compared with the price in January 2023 when the master strategist said he would crash the price huh

Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.
