The Federal Government has initiated the establishment of an interministerial committee dedicated to poverty alleviation, composed of representatives from the Federal Ministries of Humanitarian Affairs, Interior, and Finance. Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, disclosed this during a meeting with her counterpart, Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in Abuja on the previous day.
Dr. Edu stressed that collaborative efforts between ministries would significantly contribute to addressing the underlying causes of the humanitarian crisis and poverty in Nigeria. She also highlighted that her ministry would closely cooperate with the Ministry of Interior, particularly in areas related to internal security, human trafficking, and migration, as these issues are among the drivers of humanitarian crises in the country.
“We are here with a strong commitment to fulfilling our responsibilities, and to succeed, the President has emphasized the importance of teamwork and the need for inter-sectoral and ministerial collaboration to achieve our goals,” Dr. Edu remarked.
“My new responsibilities center on reaching a larger population of vulnerable Nigerians, providing them with humanitarian services, and alleviating poverty in line with President Tinubu’s agenda. The President is dedicated to bringing smiles back to the faces of Nigerians and reducing the number of people living below the poverty line to the minimum possible extent,” she added.
Dr. Edu affirmed that the government remains committed to ending the suffering of Nigerians affected by humanitarian crises and poverty.

Taking over leadership at the JAMB headquarters in Bwari, Abuja, Aina succeeds Professor Ishaq Oloyede, whose 10-year, two-term tenure concluded on July 31, 2026. Initially approved by President Bola Tinubu on May 21 when Aina was 39, this appointment marks him as the youngest individual ever to lead the examination body.
When the appointment was first announced, Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, highlighted Aina’s deep background in digital infrastructure, public-sector reforms, and national examination systems, noting his historic milestone as one of Nigeria’s youngest computer engineering professors.
In his inaugural address, Aina acknowledged the foundation laid by his predecessor—who is widely credited with modernizing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)—and vowed to expand on those achievements. Emphasizing a strong stance against malpractice, he warned wrongdoers that their illicit activities have no place at JAMB, promising to ramp up modern technological investments and deepen partnerships with security agencies to safeguard the integrity of the admissions process.
