President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday swore in Mr. Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe as the new Minister of Power and Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.

The swearing-in ceremony took place at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, in the presence of the ministers’ spouses and senior government officials.

The appointments followed the resignation of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, and the former Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, who stepped down to pursue their governorship ambitions in their respective states.

President Tinubu subsequently nominated Tegbe and Enikanolaiye as replacements. Both nominees were confirmed by the Senate on May 6, 2026.

Tegbe, an indigene of Ibadan in Oyo State, is a fiscal, economic and institutional reform strategist with more than 35 years of experience across the public and private sectors.

He is also known for his expertise in stakeholder engagement, policy implementation and institutional reform.

Ambassador Enikanolaiye, who hails from Igbagun in Kogi State, holds a First Class degree in Political Science from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where he graduated as the best student in his faculty and received the Dean’s Prize.

He also obtained a Master’s degree in International Law and Diplomacy from the University of Lagos, graduating with distinction.

A career diplomat, Enikanolaiye has served in several Nigerian missions abroad, including Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Belgrade, Serbia; Ottawa, Canada; and London, United Kingdom.

His last foreign posting was as Nigeria’s Head of Mission in New Delhi, India.

Before his ministerial appointment, he served as Senior Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Foreign Affairs and International Relations in the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President.
