Johnson who was the erstwhile Foreign Affairs Minister, has returned to his former Portfolio. He was the first Minister to officiate the said Ministry.

The President acting on powers conferred on him by the constitution appointed Gray Johnson as the Secretary for Higher Education. He replaces Abdoulie Sallah, who was sacked along side with three other Secretaries of State.
