Their swearing-in came weeks after 17 of their colleagues took the oath of office in March.

Meanwhile, the FEC, which is currently ongoing, also observed a minute’s silence in honour of two former ministers; one-time minister of education, Professor Fabian Osuji, and former Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, before going into closed doors.

Osuji died at the age of 82 in February. He served as minister of education during the tenure of former President Olusegun Obasanjo while Onu died at the age of 72 and was appointed Minister of Science and Technology during the tenure of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
