President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially administered the oath of office to Dr. Muttaqha Rabe Darma as the new Minister of Housing and Urban Development. Darma, a nominee from Katsina State, takes over the portfolio following his successful clearance by the Senate. He replaces Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, who recently resigned to pursue other interests. During the swearing-in ceremony at the State House, President Tinubu urged the new minister to accelerate the delivery of affordable housing under the "Renewed Hope" agenda, emphasizing that shelter remains a fundamental pillar of his administration's social contract with Nigerians.
