According to a statement issued on Friday by the Head of Information and Public Relations Unit, Efe Ovuakporie, the handover took place on Thursday, April 23, 2026, in line with a directive from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The ministry noted that Edun’s time in office saw the implementation of several fiscal and economic measures aimed at stabilising the economy and setting it on a path of long-term growth. These efforts included steps to improve government revenue, strengthen coordination of public finances, and advance broader structural reforms under the current administration’s economic programme.

The new minister also expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for entrusting him with the role. He said he is prepared to work closely with the leadership and staff of the ministry to achieve the government’s economic goals and deliver results that will benefit Nigerians.

Speaking on behalf of the ministry’s leadership, the Permanent Secretary, Raymond Omachi, along with the Permanent Secretary for Special Duties, Mohammed Sanusi Danjuma, assured the minister of their full cooperation and support in carrying out his responsibilities.

Oyedele said his focus would be on building on existing reforms while ensuring that government policies produce clear and measurable results across key sectors of the economy.

The marriage between popular businessman Olakunle Churchill and Nollywood actress Rosy Meurer has hit the rocks.

Sources confirmed to LIB that Meurer filed for the dissolution of the marriage on Monday, April 21, 2026, officially ending the union contracted in 2021. The couple, who have two children together, have also heightened separation rumors by unfollowing each other on Instagram.

The development marks a dramatic turn in a relationship that has long been shrouded in controversy. Meurer was previously accused by actress, Tonto Dikeh, Churchill’s ex-wife, of having an affair with him before their 2017 split. Following his divorce from Dikeh, Churchill married Meurer in 2021, and they subsequently welcomed two children.

This latest separation comes shortly after reconciliation efforts between Churchill and his ex-wife, Tonto Dikeh, with both parties recently coming together to celebrate their son’s birthday.

While neither party has released an official statement regarding the cause of the split, Churchill shared a cryptic post this afternoon, stating that if he is ever in a situation where he has to choose between anyone else or his kids, he will be choosing his kids.
