Minister of Environment, Ms. Amina Mohammed will, next month, resign from President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet to take up her new appointment in the United Nations.
It was gathered according to New Telegraph that the Environment Minister is set to officially quit the cabinet on February 28.
The minister will resume as Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations (UN) on March 1st. Amina’s appointment was announced in December last year by the new Secretary General of the UN, Antonio Guterres.
The exit of Amina, who hails from Gombe State, will bring to two, the number of vacancies that would exist in the present cabinet of President Buhari.
The first vacuum in the cabinet was created in March 2016 by the demise of former Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Chief James Ocholi (SAN) who was nominated from Kogi State.
Ocholi died alongside his wife, Blessing, and son, Aron, in an auto crash in March 2016. The president is yet to appoint a new minister from the state to replace Ocholi. Since the death of Ocholi, the number of the cabinet has remained 35 and will now deplete further to 34 when Amina quits.
