The position of Minister of Youth became vacant after the president redeployed Abubakar Momoh to the Ministry of Niger Delta Development.

The Senate President, who read a letter sent to the Senate on Tuesday, said the President nominated Abbas to replace the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, who was not screened and cleared by the Senate due to security reasons.
