According to a source, the letter arrived the Senate late Tuesday.
The source revealed that the two nominees are from Kogi and Gombe state. Our correspondent gathered that the Kogi nominee will be replacing the late Minister of State for Labour, Barr. James Ocholi while the nominee from Gombe would be replacing former Minister for Environment Ms Amina Mohammed who had gone to serve in the United Nations as a deputy Secretary General.
The list of ministerial nominees is coming at a time the Senate stood down for two weeks consideration of the request of President Buhari for the appointment of Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs).

According to the senate, it is wrong to leave any appointee in acting capacity even after he had been rejected twice by the senate. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
