Farouq got married in September last year to the former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.
Uptown Press learnt that the wedding Fatiha took place at the Maitama Juma’a Mosque in Abuja.
It was reportedly a quiet wedding ceremony as the couple did not want it to be publicized.
The Minister is expected back in the country after the delivery of her baby and the expiration of her maternity leave.
Sadiya Farouq, who was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari in July 2019, is by age, the youngest minister in the Federal Cabinet of the president.

She was one-time national treasurer of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC from June 2013 to June 2014.
She was also instrumental in the party’s victory in 2015 as she served as a member of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council. She was the chairperson of the election planning and monitoring, field operations, and fundraising committee.
