Mohammed officially left President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet on February 22, after a valedictory session held in her honour by the Federal Executive Council.
The session was presided over by Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, and became emotional when Mohammed and Minister of State for Environment, Ibrahim Jibril, started weeping.
