The two newly confirmed ministers may have to wait awhile before they take their seats at the exclusive Executive Chamber of the Presidential Villa.
This is because, on Wednesday, contrary to expectation, Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, again failed to inaugurate them during the weekly meeting of the Federal Executive Council.
Journalists had thought the new ministers would be inaugurated and assigned portfolios at the commencement of the FEC meeting last Wednesday as was the norm, but that did not happen.
Again, on Wednesday, the inauguration did not take place.
No official explanation has been given for Osinbajo’s failure to inaugurate the ministers.
