The Senate has confirmed the appointment of Taiwo Oyedele as a minister-designate in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, announced the confirmation after lawmakers cleared the nominee through a voice vote at the Committee of the Whole.
Oyedele is expected to replace Mrs Doris Uzoka-Anite as Minister of State for Finance.
A few days after his nomination, the president Bola Tinubu forwarded his name to the Red Chamber, seeking the lawmakers’ confirmation.
