President Goodluck Jonathan has sworn in four new ministers.
According to Premium Times, those sworn in are Ibrahim Shekarau, Stephen Oru, Adedayo Adeyeye and Abdul Bulama.
Shekarau was sworn in as the new Education Minister; Adeyeye as Minister of State for Works; Oru as Minister of Niger Delta; and Bulama as Minister of Science and Technology.
Also, Bashir Yuguda who was formerly Minister of Works will now be the Minster of State for Finance and substantive Minister of National Planning.
Addressing the new ministers, President Jonathan said, "Let me congratulate you for this appointment. But It is not an enviable appointment because in football match when you get to the injury time and a player is brought in you expect goals. This government has less than a year to go and you have been brought in this time, so you know the reason why you have been brought in"
"You have no time to sleep, unfortunately for you because first you have to learn how to climb the ropes, because maybe it is a different setting, no matter how experienced you are if you go to something different you will need some time to adjust.
"But from your background we know that all of you are eminently qualified to be here and we know that it will not take you too many hours to settle down. We believe that you will perform not just to satisfy Mr President but to satisfy Nigerians. You are not just serving the President as a principal aide, but you are serving our motherland and in this we will expect the best from you especially at this time when there is global competition", the President added.
