The new Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen, has joined Twitter with the handle @PaulineKTallen.
She was among ministers who were inaugurated on August 21 following the end of the Presidential Retreat for ministers-designate, presidential aides and other top government functionaries at the State House in Abuja, Igbere TV reports.
“Welcome to my official Twitter handle. Looking forward to strategic engagements here,” she wrote on Wednesday.
Mrs Tallen, an ally of First Lady Aisha Buhari, had in 2016 rejected an ambassadorial appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The former Plateau State deputy governor rejected it for the sake of fairness to other parts of her home state.
“I hail from the same local government and tribe with Governor Simon Lalong. I turned down the nomination because of balancing of appointments. I don’t think it is right for me to accept the appointment,” she said.
She also cited her husband’s poor health as reason for the rejection.
