The newly appointed ministers are currently before the senate for a screening exercise.
The confirmation hearing is being held on the floor of the
upper legislative chamber.
The screening was supposed to have been held on Tuesday, but
the upper legislative chamber shifted it to Wednesday (today) to allow all the
seven nominees “conclude their documentation”.
Last week, President Bola Tinubu sacked five ministers and
asked the senate to confirm seven new ministerial nominees.
Bianca Odinaka Odumegu-Ojukwu was appointed as minister of
state foreign affairs and Jumoke Oduwole was assigned to the ministry of
industry, trade and investment.
Nentawe Yilwatda was appointed to replace the suspended
Betta Edu as the minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty reduction while
Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi was named the new minister of labour and employment.
While Idi Mukhtar Maiha was appointed as the minister of
livestock development, Yusuf Abdullahi Ata was named as the minister of state,
housing and urban development.
Also, Tinubu approved the appointment of Suwaiba Said Ahmad
as the minister of state, education.
