In a letter dated December 1, 2025, and sent to President Bola Tinubu, Badaru said he was quitting on health grounds.
A statement issued by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga on Monday said Tinubu has accepted the resignation and thanked the minister for his services to the nation.
“President Tinubu will likely inform the Senate of Badaru’s successor later this week,” Onanuga added.
