The Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, Nkeiru Onyejeocha, has resigned from her position following a directive issued on March 31 by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Sources within government circles indicate that the resignation is in compliance with a broader directive affecting certain political office holders, although full details of the President’s order are yet to be officially disclosed.
Onyejeocha, who has served in the Ministry of Labour and Productivity, is a seasoned politician and former member of the House of Representatives. Her resignation marks a significant shift within the federal cabinet and may signal further changes in the administration’s political and governance strategy.
While no official statement has been released outlining her next political move, analysts suggest the development could be linked to evolving political alignments ahead of future elections.
Efforts to obtain further clarification from the Presidency and the Ministry were ongoing at the time of filing this report. However, insiders maintain that the directive aims to reposition key political actors in line with the administration’s broader agenda.
The resignation adds to a growing list of political developments shaping Nigeria’s governance landscape, with observers closely monitoring potential ripple effects across ministries and agencies.
