Amaechi was sworn in today, November 11, 2015, along with 35 other ministerial nominees.
The former governor was confirmed as a minister on October 29 after the Senate rejected the report of the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges on a petition filed against him.
The complaint had been filed by three Senators from Rivers citing the allegations of corruption levelled against the former governor.
