With Emeka Nwajuiba, the Minister of State for Education, bowing out of Buhari’s cabinet, Akpabio submitted his resignation letter at Wednesday, May 11, Federal Executive Council’s (FEC) meeting.
“The Minister has resigned. He has submitted his resignation letter to the SGF. We are waiting for him at the ICC, where he is coming to submit his nomination form,” Personal Assistant to the Minister on Media, Jackson Udom, said as he confirmed the development.
