Minister-designate, Tunji-Ojo Resigns As Reps Member

Bunmi Tunji-Ojo, a lawmaker representing Akoko north-east/north-west federal constituency, has resigned from the lower chamber.

Tunji-Ojo was one of 45 out of the 48 ministerial nominees confirmed by the senate.

In a letter released on Sunday, Tunji-Ojo said his resignation from the lower chamber will enable him to contribute his quota to the development of the country.

“Our dear country is in dire need of collaborative and concerted efforts that would engender the much-needed advancement to greater heights and I have been appointed to contribute my quota to achieve that enviable objective as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the resignation letter reads.

Tunji-Ojo will be sworn in today as minister of Interior.
