President Muhammadu Buhari has redeployed the Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs, Festus Keyamo to the Ministry of Labour and Employment. This is coming less than a month after Kenyamo assumed office.

A statement from the Director of Information at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willie Bassey said Keyamo would swap portfolios with the Minister of State in the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Tayo Alasoadura.

The statement read: “President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the immediate redeployment of two Ministers of State as follows: 

“Mr. Festus Keyamo, Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs is to move to the Ministry of Labour and Employment as Minister of State; Senator Tayo Alasoadura is to move to Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs as Minister of State.

“This redeployment takes effect from today, Tuesday, September 24, 2019.”

Reacting to his development, Keyamo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) said his redeployment was an evidence of his versatility.

Taking to his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday night, Kenyamo thanked President Buhari for the redeployment, saying it was proof of his ability to do many different things.

Keyamo tweeted: “ON THE MOVE AGAIN: TWO PORTFOLIOS IN TWO MONTHS! Just been redeployed to the Ministry of Labour and Employment to work with my long-time big brother, H.E, Chris Ngige.

“Thank you, Mr. President for finding me versatile enough to move around. Always ready to serve in any capacity.”
