Mr Tinubu had in September announced the appointment of Mrs Ibrahim to serve as minister of youth and Mr Olawande to serve as minister of state for youth pending their confirmation by the Senate.
The president also requested the confirmation of Jamila Bio Ibrahim from Kwara State and Ayodele Olawande.
The nominee from Kaduna appeared to have been nominated to replace a former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, whose nomination was rejected by the Senate in August. He is a former Secretary to the Kaduna State Government and had also headed the transition committee of the state in 2015. He also served as the vice-chairman of the committee in 2019.).

U.S. Court Orders Nigerian President's Academic Records ReleasedThe United States District Court in Northern Illinois has ordered Chicago State University (CSU) to release President Bola Tinubu's academic records to opposition candidate Atiku Abubakar. Atiku, the presidential candidate of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had approached the court to compel the university to release Tinubu's records, alleging that he forged his diploma certificate. The court dismissed Tinubu's objections to the release of the records, saying that Atiku has the right to have access to them. Atiku argues that this goes to the root of Tinubu's qualification to contest the last presidential election. Although Atiku lost his case against Tinubu at the Presidential Election Petition Court in early September, he is appealing the decision to the Supreme Court. He hopes to use the CSU records to support his argument that Tinubu forged his diploma. Atiku and Labour Party candidate Peter Obi have both rejected the September 6, 2023 court judgment declaring Tinubu Nigeria's duly elected president. They have both filed appeals with the Supreme Court to nullify the judgment.
