Zainab Ahmed, acting minister of

(FEC) meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ahmed, who had all along attended
the meeting as minister of state for budget and national planning, was
congratulated by her colleagues.
Buhari had appointed Ahmed on

Bello, minister of water resources, led Ahmed to her new seat.
She was seen engaging with Audu
Ogbeh, minister of agriculture; Udoma Udoma, minister of budget and national
planning; and Abubakar Malami, minister of justice.
