Breaking: Newly appointed Finance Minister Zainab Ahmed assumes duty

Newly appointed Acting Minister of Finance Mrs Zainab Ahmed has assumed duty 72 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari picked her to oversee the ministry following the resignation of Mrs Kemi Adeosun on Sept. 14.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that until her appointment, Ahmed was the Minister of State, Budget and National Planning.

Reports say the minister is studying her new office and reading the handover note.

It would be recalled that Buhari appointed Ahmed on Friday to oversee the ministry of finance after the resignation of Kemi Adeosun who resigned following the outcome of an investigation into an allegation made an online medium, Premium Times that her Certificate of Exemption from National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) was forged.

The certificate was later discovered not to be genuine.
