Nigeria’s newly appointed Minister of Tourism, Ms. Lola Ade-John, has reportedly been hospitalised and battling for life after what is suspected to be poisoning.
NPO Reports quotes media reports saying that the minister, a former banker has spent the fourth day in her hospital bed, the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi Abuja.
It was learnt that both the officials of her ministry and family members are in argument over the capacity of the medical centre to take care of the minister or she should be transferred to a private hospital.
Ms Ade-John, who was based in London for years before her return to the country to serve in the president Bola Tinubu’s cabinet, was appointed as a minister in August.
She was immediately touted as one of the few cabinet members appointed from outside the political beltway.
