President Bola Tinubu has been advised to appoint a replacement for the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation in order to really address the suffering by the masses.

The Senior Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Special Needs, Mohammed Abba Isa, made the appeal in Abuja on Third while addressing Journalists.

According to him, the absence of a minister in the Humanitarian Ministry has created a huge vacuum which has had negative multiplier effect on the People With Disabilities and the vulnerable groups.
