Femi Adesina, spokesman of
President Muhammadu Buhari, says Zainab Ahmed will be minister of finance.

Buhari appointed Ahmed to oversee
the ministry following the resignation of Kemi Adeosun who was involved in
certificate forgery scandal.
Speaking with journalists in
Abuja on Wednesday, Adesina said it had become clear that Ahmed is no longer
minister of state for budget and national planning.
“You know she was minister of
state budget and national planning, she will relinquish that or she has
relinquished that to go and oversee the finance ministry, so that is her status
for now,” Adesina said.
“What you call her is a matter of
nomenclature but if she is overseeing the ministry, then she is. But note that
she is no longer minister of state budget and national planning for now until
anything contrary happens. But for now, she is in charge of the ministry of
finance.
“You know that statement was
written in English and that statement says she will oversee the ministry of
finance, let’s leave it like that. I just told you she is no longer minister of
state budget and national planning, she will be minister of finance, in fact
that was how she was addressed at council.
“Don’t forget it is also a legal
thing, if a minister is going to be appointed there are procedures that is why
it is a deployment.”
