Bolaji-Abdullahi-presents-the-FIFA-World-Cup-to-Jonathan
Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan has sacked the Youth and Sports Minister, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi Wednesday in a cabinet reshuffle.
A move many could consider to be ‘wrong and ill-timed’ given that the FIFA World Cup in Brazil is just three months away.
Dr Tamuno Danagogo is to take charge of the Ministry with immediate effect, as directed by the President. He is one of the eleven newly-sworn in ministers.
The Swearing-in Ceremony took place at the Council Chambers of the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
The new ministers with their portfolios are :-
Senator Musiliu Obanikoro – Minister of State for Defense
Mohammed Wakil -Minister of State for Power
Alhaji Abduljelili Adesiyan – Minister of Police Affairs
Ambassador Aminu Wali – Minister of Foreign Affairs
Lawrencia Laraba Mallam – Minister of Environment
Dr Tamuno Danagogo – Minister of Sports

Hajia Asabe Asmau Ahmed– Minister of State for Agriculture
Gen. Aliyu Gusau – Minister of Defense
