Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs, has been redeployed to the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
No reason was given for his redeployment barely one month after working in the Niger Delta ministry.
He is to swap positions with Minister of State of Labour Tayo Alasoadura who moves to the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs.
Keyamo’s redeployment was disclosed in a statement from the Director of Information at the Office of Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willie Bassey.
Bassey said President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the swap.
Bassey said: “President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the immediate redeployment of two Ministers of State as follows.
“Mr Festus Keyamo, Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs is to move to Ministry of Labour and Employment as Minister of State.
“Senator Tayo Alasoadura is to move to Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs as Minister of State. This redeployment takes effect from today, Tuesday 24th September, 2019.”
