Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu has announced the appointment of a new Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction Minister.

The appointment followed the appointment of the former minister, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, who announced this in a statement on Tuesday, said the appointment is, however, subject to confirmation by the upper legislative chamber, the Senate.
