President Bola Tinubu has approved a minor reshuffle of the Federal Executive Council, removing the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, and the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa.

This was disclosed in a statement on Tuesday by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Yomi Odunuga, citing a memo signed by SGF George Akume.

According to the memo, Taiwo Oyedele has been appointed as the new Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, while Dr. Muttaqha Darma is the Minister-designate for Housing and Urban Development.

The outgoing ministers have been directed to complete handover processes to their successors on or before April 23, 2026.

Explaining the decision, Akume said the changes are aimed at improving coordination and strengthening delivery in key sectors under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

“These changes are aimed at strengthening cohesion, synergy in governance as well as achieving more impactful delivery on the economy to Nigerians, through the Renewed Hope Agenda,” Akume stated.

He added that President Tinubu acted in line with Sections 147 and 148 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

The President also appreciated the outgoing ministers for their service and wished them well in their future endeavours.

Goodluck Jonathan does not appear to be a man who enjoys being described as inexperienced, particularly by someone who has spent three decades trying and failing to become president.

The former Nigerian president pushed back Monday at an Abuja awards ceremony, responding without naming Atiku Abubakar directly but with enough precision that nobody in the room could have misidentified the target. Atiku had said on Arise TV that Jonathan was “a decent young man, but also inexperienced,” and that this inexperience had contributed to his inability to manage the country’s challenges during his 2010-2015 tenure.

Jonathan’s reply arrived wrapped in mathematics. “I became president in 2010 at the age of 53. I left in 2015 at the age of 58, and they say I was too young. Must it have been 100 years before I ran the affairs of the state?” He acknowledged mistakes — everyone makes them, he said, even those who promote themselves to deity — but rejected the framing that youth or inexperience was his defining characteristic in office. “I did my best,” he said.
