Alao was appointed Minister of Environment and Housing on 26 July 2007 by President Umaru Yar'Adua.[6] but was dismissed in a major cabinet reshuffle on October 29, 2008.[7] The dismissal was said to have been due to her constant arguments with Chuka Odom, minister of state and representative of the Progressive Peoples Alliance.[8] Her replacement was John Odey, appointed on 17 December 2008.[9]
