A notification in this regard released immediately.
Afridi, who originates from Fata, had independently competed in the general elections.
He was also the second highest tax payer in the country last year.
Previously, textile had been with federal minister Engr Khurram Dastagir Khan who also held the portfolio of commerce.
With Afridi being awarded textile industry, only Akram Khan Durrani remains without a portfolio in Nawaz's 20 member cabinet.

@ ET "He was also the second highest tax payer in the country last year". Did you mean in the National and Provincial assemblies, right?
He can start stuffing his overseas accounts. There was a delay in granting him his satrapy. He can now get to work.
"He was also the second highest tax payer in the country last year."
Thats all I need to know that he has probably much better than a million others out there!
Textile industry ministry? Every day I hear a new joke.
And who are the ministers for sugar industry, cement industry, steel industry, auto industry, electronics industry, software industry?
