The Federal Government has removed Wale Edun and Ahmed Musa Dangiwa from their positions in the Federal Executive Council. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved the decision, with a memo signed by Secretary to the Government of the Federation Senator George Akume confirming the changes. Edun, who served as Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, has been relieved of his duties, as has Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, former Minister of Housing and Urban Development. Immediate replacements have been appointed for both positions, though their names were not disclosed in the initial statement. The presidency stated the reshuffle is aimed at strengthening governance and enhancing economic performance under the Renewed Hope Agenda. No reasons were given for the removal of either minister. The announcement was made in a brief official memo, with further details expected at a later time.
President Tinubu has removed two ministers without stating why, even as he touts improved economic delivery under the Renewed Hope Agenda. Nigerians named in the memo — Edun, Dangiwa, Akume — now face public scrutiny without explanation or defence. The silence leaves their contributions and shortcomings unclarified, despite the administration's push for transparency. This abrupt change offers no clarity on how policy continuity will be maintained.
