President Bola Tinubu on Monday, June 8, 2026, swore in Mr. Joseph Tegbe as Minister of Power and Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, according to verified reports from Nigerian state media.
The appointments follow the resignation of two ministers ahead of a cabinet reshuffle. Tegbe, a former director-general of the Bureau of Public Enterprises, takes over the power portfolio amid ongoing challenges in Nigeria's electricity sector. Enikanolaiye, a career diplomat, assumes the role of Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
During the swearing-in ceremony, President Tinubu urged the new ministers to prioritize efficiency and transparency in their respective ministries. The event was attended by senior government officials, including Vice President Kashim Shettima and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
