President Bola Tinubu on Monday, begun the swearing-in of 45 ministers-designate in Aso Rock, Abuja.

Tinubu had asked the senate to confirm 48 ministerial nominees but only 45 were cleared.
Nasir el-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna; Stella Okotete (Delta) and Danladi Abubakar (Taraba) were not confirmed as the senate had not received security clearance about them during the confirmation hearing.
The 45 successful ministers-designate completed their documentation at the weekend as part of the fulfillments ahead of their swearing-in as cabinet members.
Five of the ministers have just taken their oath of office before the president at the time of reporting.
