The State House Conference Center in Abuja is hosting the installation of the 45 confirmed ministers-designates.

Other ministers include Wale Edun, who oversees finances and the economy; Adegboyega Oyetola, who oversees transportation; David Umahi, who oversees construction; Festus Keyamo, who oversees aviation and aerospace development; and Betta Edu, who oversees humanitarian aid and poverty alleviation.
