Laolu Akande, spokesperson to Acting President Yemi Osinbajo had confirmed they would be sworn in on Wednesday.

Ocheni and Hassan’s nomination was confirmed by the senate on May 3.

But delay in the inauguration of the duo — who are to replace the late James Ocholi and Amina Mohammed, deputy secretary-general of the United Nations (UN) — had triggered reactions

On July 11, the house of representatives gave a seven-day ultimatum to Osinbajo to inaugurate the ministers.
