Just-in: See Full List of all Ministers on Buhari's new cabinet
The President Muhammadu Buhari has Officially inaugurated his new cabinet following a successful re-election earlier this year.
Nigeria, which has Africa’s biggest economy, remains heavily reliant on crude oil sales despite efforts by Buhari to boost non-oil revenues since he first took office in 2015. Oil sales account for about 90% of foreign exchange and low oil prices helped to push the country into recession in 2016.
Buhari kept the petroleum portfolio for himself, as in his first term, and a number of other appointees from the last cabinet maintained their portfolios among others, Chris Ngige (Labour and Employment), Geoffrey Onyeama (Foreign Affairs), Babatunde Raji Fashola (Works and Housing) and Abubakar Malami (Minister of Justice).
