President Bola Tinubu has nominated Joseph Olasunkanmi
Tegbe as the new Minister of Power, pending confirmation by the Senate.
The announcement was made by presidential media aide
Bayo Onanuga in a statement issued on Thursday, April 30. According to him, the
nomination has been formally transmitted to the Senate for screening in line
with constitutional provisions.
Tegbe’s nomination follows the resignation of former
Minister Adebayo Adelabu, who stepped down from his role to pursue elective
office.
Onanuga described Tegbe, an indigene of Oyo State, as
a seasoned fiscal and economic reform expert with over 35 years of experience
across both the public and private sectors.
The presidency expressed confidence that, if
confirmed, Tegbe will leverage his expertise to drive key reforms and improve
performance in Nigeria’s power sector, a critical area of the nation’s economy.
