President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on has sworn in Mr. Taiwo Oyedele as the new Minister of State for Finance at the State House, Abuja
Oyedele’s appointment followed a recent cabinet adjustment in which the former Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, was redeployed to the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, marking her third portfolio in the current administration.
The brief swearing-in ceremony held at the State House formalised Oyedele’s entry into the Federal Executive Council, where he is expected to support the administration’s fiscal management and economic reform agenda.
Until his nomination as minister, Oyedele served as Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, a body established by President Tinubu to overhaul Nigeria’s tax administration and fiscal policy framework.
The committee was credited with developing proposals aimed at simplifying the tax system, improving compliance, and expanding government revenue.
A native of Ikaram in Akoko area of Ondo State, the 50-year-old economist and public policy expert brings decades of experience in finance, taxation, and economic policy to his new role.
