Jamila Ibrahim is proposed by Tinubu as the Minister of Youth.

Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim and Mr. Ayodele Olawande have been nominated by President Bola Tinubu as the ministry’s Minister of Youth and Minister of State, respectively.

Ajuri Ngelale, the President’s special adviser on media and publicity, said this on Sunday and mentioned that the Nigerian Senate must still confirm the fresh nominations.
