President Muhammadu Buhari has redeployed the Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs, Mr. Festus Keyamo to the Ministry of Labour and Employment as Minister of State, while the incumbent Tayo Alasoadura moves to the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs as junior Minister.
A statement from the Director of Information at the Office of Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willie Bassey announced the swap.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the immediate redeployment of two Ministers of State as follows.
“Mr Festus Keyamo, Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs is to move to Ministry of Labour and Employment as Minister of State,
“Senator Tayo Alasoadura is to move to Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs as Minister of State. This redeployment takes effect from today, Tuesday 24th September, 2019.”
Recall that immediately after the appointments of Kenyamo was announcement, there were so much criticisms especially from the opposition that the former Economic and Financial Crimes, EFCC, lawyer would now be answerable to Senator Godswill Akpabio whom he prosecuted while serving the anti-graft agency.
