Acting Finance Minister of Finance Zainab Ahmed
Following the resignation of Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, Nigeria's former Minister of State, Budget and National Planning has assumed her position. Newly appointed Acting Minister of Finance Mrs Zainab Ahmed has assumed duty 72 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari picked her to oversee the ministry following the resignation of Mrs Kemi Adeosun on, Sept. 14.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that until her appointment, Ahmed was the Minister of State, Budget and National Planning.
Reports reaching NAN say that the minister is studying her new office and reading the handover note.
It would be recalled that Buhari appointed Ahmed on Friday to oversee the ministry of finance after the resignation of Kemi Adeosun who resigned following the outcome of an investigation into allegation made in an online medium of her Certificate of Exemption from National Youth Service Corp (NYSC).
The certificate was later discovered not to be genuine.
Details soon…..
