The Senate on Wednesday confirmed the appointment of Taiwo Oyedele as Minister of State for Finance.
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, announced the confirmation after lawmakers cleared the nominee through a voice vote at the Committee of the Whole.
President Bola Tinubu last week nominated the 50-year-old Economist as Minister of State for Finance.
Oyedele is expected to replace Mrs. Doris Uzoka-Anite, who has been redeployed to another ministry in the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
