Why it matters
The appointment and the ongoing reforms are viewed as necessary to reposition the Nigerian economy. However, Dr Ifediora Amobi stressed that while the reforms are needed, the immediate impact on households and businesses cannot be ignored, and measures must be implemented to provide relief and stimulate economic activity.
President Tinubu appointed several ministers, including Nentawe Yilwatda, Yusuf Abdullahi Ata, Jumoke Oduwole, and Idi Mukhtar Maiha, in November 2024.
