President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday, swore in new 45 ministers, tasking them to meet the expectations of Nigerians for a renewed socio-economic development.
Tinubu said his administration came at a time when the country needed renewal and reforms in all ramifications.
“Nigerians expect you to hit the ground running just as we had promised them during our campaigns.
“They expect a lot and they deservedly want to see changes in their lives.
“You are now in same boat as me and they expect that their lives would take new and better turn.
“With your inauguration today, you have become ministers of the Federal Republic not ministers of a particular state or region,” he said.
The President said the composition of the new ministers reflected the different diversity of the country.
He added that he has chosen them for their track record of success and achievements in their various fields of endeavours.
