Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim, the now-former Minister of Youth Development, has restricted access to her Twitter account following her dismissal by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This move came shortly after the announcement of her removal, which formed part of a major cabinet reshuffle. Previously, Ibrahim’s account had been open to the public, but checks by Thediscovererng.com revealed it is now restricted, possibly to safeguard her privacy and limit unsolicited comments.
In a related development, President Tinubu promoted Ayodele Olawande, who served as the Minister of State for Youth Development, to replace Ibrahim as the substantive Minister of Youth Development.
President Tinubu’s cabinet reshuffle, announced on Wednesday, saw the dismissal of six key ministers, marking a significant shake-up in his administration. Those relieved of their duties include:
Uju-Ken Ohanenye, Minister of Women Affairs
Lola Ade-John, Minister of Tourism
Prof. Tahir Mamman, Minister of Education
Abdullahi Muhammad Gwarzo, Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development
Jamila Bio Ibrahim, Minister of Youth Development
Dr. Betta Edu, who was suspended as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs
Alongside these dismissals, President Tinubu also appointed new ministers, demonstrating his intention to reposition the administration. The newly appointed ministers are:
Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction
Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi, Minister of Labour and Employment
Bianca Odinaka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Minister of State, Foreign Affairs
Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment
Idi Mukhtar Maiha, Minister of Livestock Development
Rt. Hon. Yusuf Abdullahi Ata, Minister of State, Housing and Urban Development
Dr. Suwaiba Said Ahmad, Minister of State, Education
This cabinet reshuffle, coupled with the promotion of Olawande, is seen as an attempt by President Tinubu to streamline his government’s operations and inject fresh energy into key ministries.
