President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has nominated Taiwo Oyedele as the new Minister of State for Finance, succeeding Doris Anite-Uzoka, who has been reassigned to the Ministry of Budget and National Planning. Oyedele's nomination, communicated to the Senate by Tinubu, highlights his extensive experience as an economist and public policy expert, notably his leadership of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms. With over two decades in both public and private sectors, and a strong educational background including qualifications from prestigious institutions, Oyedele aims to enhance the administration's fiscal reform efforts. Anite-Uzoka, previously involved in finance management, will continue to contribute to the government's reform agenda. Oyedele's confirmation awaits Senate approval.
