₦1.15 Trillion Saga: Drama Before Tinubu Chose “Tax Man” Taiwo Oyedele to Replace Uzoka as Minister

This video examines the events that led to the appointment of Taiwo Oyedele as Minister of State for Finance, replacing Doris Uzoka-Anite. We break down the controversy surrounding the ₦1.15 trillion capital project funding raised for the 2025 budget and the heated exchanges that occurred during the House Committee on Appropriation hearing. During the session, lawmakers questioned why capital projects were reportedly near zero execution despite large domestic revenue and multiple foreign loans. The discussion led to strong reactions in the National Assembly and eventually a cabinet reshuffle by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In this analysis, we look at what was said during the hearing, the explanations given by government officials, the issues surrounding capital disbursement, and how the situation unfolded before the ministerial change was announced. The goal of this video is to explain the timeline of events and help viewers understand the policy, political, and financial questions raised during the process.
