The Cabinet of President Goodluck Jonathan was appointed by Acting President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria a few weeks after he took office during the terminal illness of President Umaru Yar'Adua.
On 13 January 2010, a federal court empowered Jonathan to manage state affairs while Yar'Adua received medical treatment in Saudi Arabia, and on 9 February 2010 the Nigerian Senate confirmed him as Acting President.[1] On 10 February 2010, Jonathan demoted Minister of Justice Michael Aondoakaa to Special Duties, replacing him by Prince Adetokunbo Kayode.[2] Jonathan retained the remainder Yar'Adua's cabinet until 16 March 2010, when he dissolved it in an assertion of his authority over a divided administration where some members questioned his right to act as president.[3] On 6 April 2010, Jonathan swore in his new cabinet.[4] Yar'Adua died on 5 May 2010, and Jonathan was sworn in as president the next day.[5]
