Matawalle, Wike, Other Survivors of Tinubu’s Cabinet Shake-Up: Full List

President Bola Tinubu wielded his big stick on Wednesday, and like a surgeon in a theatre, he used his surgical knife, removing five ministers, redeploying ten, and appointing seven fresh nominees as ministers to replace the sacked ones, as well as two others — Betta Edu, who was initially suspended, and Simon Lalong, who left his cabinet to join the Senate.

Tinubu, the ex-Lagos governor, appointed 48 ministers in August 2023, three months after his inauguration. The Senate immediately screened and confirmed the ministers. One of the ministers, Betta Edu, was suspended in January, while ex-Plateau State governor, Simon Lalong, resigned and moved to the upper legislative chamber.

There have been growing calls for the President to reshuffle his cabinet as many Nigerians are not impressed by the performance of some of the ministers, especially in the face of unprecedented inflation, an excruciating economic situation, and rising insecurity.

Despite the shake-up on Wednesday, about 30 ministers were not affected; they were neither sacked nor redeployed.

They are:
