Newly appointed Finance Minister Zainab Ahmed assumes duty

Mrs Zainab Ahmed former Minister of State for Budget and National Planning now acting Minister of Finance.

Newly appointed Acting Minister of Finance Mrs Zainab Ahmed has assumed duty 72 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari picked her to oversee the ministry following the resignation of Mrs Kemi Adeosun on, Sept. 14.

Until her appointment, Ahmed was the Minister of State, Budget and National Planning.

Reports revealed that the minister is studying her new office and reading the handover note.

It would be recalled that Buhari appointed Ahmed on Friday to oversee the ministry of finance after the resignation of Kemi Adeosun who resigned following the outcome of an investigation into allegation made in an online medium of her Certificate of Exemption from National Youth Service Corp (NYSC).

The certificate was later discovered not to be genuine.
