Oil workers demand results as president Tinubu heads petroleum ministry
Oil workers have demanded results as President Bola Tinubu assigned the Petroleum Ministry portfolio to himself. Like his predecessor, the President will head the petroleum ministry while a former Senator, Heineken Lokpobiri, is the Minister of State, Petroleum Resources.
The President has unveiled the portfolios of 45 ministers nine days after they were confirmed by the Senate in a week-long screening exercise. The ministers will be sworn in on by the President at the State House Conference, Aso villa, Abuja on Monday.
A statement by the Director, Information Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willie Bassey said the ministers could attend the ceremony with two guests each. The General Secretary, Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, Lumumba Okugbawa, said there was nothing wrong with the President occupying the position of petroleum minister.
