The Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), has assigned portfolios to two new ministers, Stephen Ocheni and Suleiman Hassan.
They were confirmed by the Senate last month.
While Ocheni is now the Minister of State for Labour, Hassan will hold the position of Minister of State 2, Ministry of Power, Works and Housing.
Ocheni hails from Kogi State and replaces the late James Ocholi who died in a car crash last year.
Hassan is from Gombe State.
He replaces Amina Mohammed, who is now the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations.
Mohammed was the Minister of the Environment before taking up the UN job.
