Stella Oduah- Ogiewonyin Is New Aviation Minister
…Zainab Maina takes Over From Anenih At Women Affairs

Former chief Accounting Officer for the Jonathan/Sambo Campaign Organization, Stella Oduah-Ogiemwonyi, is the new aviation minister. She replaces Fidelia Njeze.

Former President, National Council For Women Societies ( NCWS), Zainab Maina, is to run the Women Affairs, and Social Development Ministry, where Josephine Anenih held sway.

The two women were among the 14 Ministers sworn-in by the President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday, but unlike their colleagues who were returned to their former Ministries, Mrs Maina and Mrs Oduah-Ogiemwonyi were directed to report today to the Secretary to the Government, Mr. Anyim Pius Anyim, to be assigned.

A statement by Mr. Anyim said Mr. Jonathan had approved their assignment of portfolios.
