President Bola Tinubu has nominated Joseph Tegbe as Nigeria’s new Minister of Power following the resignation of Adebayo Adelabu, who stepped down to pursue his governorship ambition.
The announcement marks a key reshuffle within the administration as it seeks to stabilise the country’s power sector, which has long faced challenges of generation and distribution.
Tinubu, who leads the government of Nigeria, is expected to forward Tegbe’s nomination for legislative confirmation in the coming days.
Adebayo Adelabu resigned from his position as Minister of Power to focus on his political ambition of contesting for governor, opening the way for the latest cabinet change.
If confirmed, Joseph Tegbe will take over a critical portfolio at a time when Nigeria continues to grapple with persistent electricity shortages and reforms in the energy sector remain a major policy priority for the Tinubu administration.
