Minister Yusuf Sununu has submitted his resignation as the Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs.
This decision comes after President Bola Tinubu's directive that appointees seeking elective offices must resign by March 31.
Sununu is set to contest the Kebbi State senatorial seat, a move that marks his transition from public service to politics.
The resignation is effective immediately, paving the way for Sununu to focus on his senatorial ambitions.
President Tinubu's directive has seen several high-profile resignations in recent weeks, with more expected as the election season heats up.
