Ocheni and Hassan, from Kogi and Gombe
states respectively, were sworn in at the
commencement of the weekly federal
executive council (FEC) meeting.
The portfolios of the two new minister are
yet to be announced.
Laolu Akande, spokesperson to the acting
president, had confirmed they would be
sworn in on Wednesday.
They are to replace the late James Ocholi and
Amina Mohammed, deputy secretary-general
of the United Nations (UN).
The senate confirmed Ocheni and Hassan on
May 3, and the delay in their inauguration
triggered reactions.
On July 11, the house of representatives
gave a seven-day ultimatum to Osinbajo to
inaugurate the ministers.
