Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga says with the recent cabinet reshuffle by President Bola Tinubu, suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Betta Edu, has officially been relieved of her ministerial assignment.
“She was suspended in January and this is October. She is gone, officially. Her position has been taken over by the Plateau man.
“As far as this government is concerned, there is no more place for her in this cabinet,” the presidential spokesman said, adding that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) might have submitted some information that justified her dismissal.
To replace Edu, Tinubu on Thursday appointed Plateau-born Nentawe Yilwatda, a lecturer with the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue State. The President has written the Senate to confirm the appointment of Yilwatda and six others.
