Nigeria’s President has named a banker as his new finance minister as well as swearing in his new cabinet.
It comes after Muhammadu Buhari, a retired army general, entered office as the country’s leader in May this year.
The politician has promised to put an end to corruption in the West African country where oil revenue accounts for the majority of its wealth.
Buhari has appointed Kemi Adeosun as finance minister and sworn in 36 members of his long-awaited cabinet.
Adeosun is a UK-trained accountant and had most recently been the finance commissioner of the southwestern Ogun state.
Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu has also been appointed as a junior oil minister although earlier this year Buhari did confirm he would retain overall control of the petroleum industry.
Earlier this week the President sacked the head of the EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission).
Ibrahim Lamorde had been chairman of the country’s anti-corruption agency.
It comes after Lamorde denied allegations $5billion had gone missing from the commission back in August.
