President Bola Tinubu has sworn in the former Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, as the Minister of State for Finance.
The brief ceremony took place at the State House on Monday.
Oyedele replaces Dr. Doris Anite-Uzoka, who has been redeployed to the Ministry of Budget and National Planning as Minister of State, marking her third ministerial portfolio in the current administration.
The Senate had earlier confirmed Oyedele’s appointment on Wednesday, 24 hours after President Tinubu requested his screening.
As Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Oyedele led a comprehensive overhaul of Nigeria’s tax system.
