President Bola Tinubu has sworn in Muttaqha Darma as the new Minister of Housing and Urban Development after his Senate clearance.
Darma from Katsina State replaced Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, who recently resigned.
This is contained in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Friday.
The president congratulated Dr Darma for coming on board at this very challenging time of national development.
“You have a very rich and interesting background. As a leader, we need competent hands like yours.
“There is no doubt that you have rendered valuable services in all the assignments you have embarked upon; You are a fitting peg in the right position,” he said.
The President urged the new Minister to be ready to serve in any capacity in which he is called upon.
