President Bola Tinubu has sent the list of the second batch
of ministerial nominees to the senate for screening.
Femi Gbajabiamila, chief of staff to the president,
submitted the letter containing the names of the nominees to Godswill Akpabio,
senate president, on Wednesday.
As of the time of filing this report, Akpabio is yet to read
the letter.
On July 27, Tinubu forwarded a list of 28 nominees to the
senate for screening and confirmation.
The president’s request was contained in a letter read by
Akpabio on the floor of the upper legislative chamber.
Akpabio, after receiving the list, referred the president’s
request to a committee.
On Monday, the red chamber began screening of the first
batch of ministerial nominees.
Nyesom Wike, former governor of Rivers; David Umahi, senate
deputy majority leader and Dele Alake are among those who have been screened so
far.
Meanwhile, Akpabio is expected to read the letter containing
the second batch of the ministerial nominees after the senate reverts to
plenary from the “committee of whole”.
Ministerial nominees are screened by the committee of the
whole chaired by the senate president.
