President Bola Tinubu has requested that the Senate confirm the nominations of seven ministerial nominees, which were announced on Wednesday.
President Tinubu’s appeal for expedited consideration of the petitions was made known in a letter addressed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who read it at the start of the plenary on Thursday.
Tinubu urged the Senate to consider and confirm the seven nominations for ministerial positions.
The ministerial nominees for confirmation include Nentawe Yilwatda (Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction), Muhammadu Dingyadi (Labour & Employment), Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu (State Foreign Affairs), and Jumoke Oduwole (Industry, Trade and Investment).
Others are Idi Mukhtar Maiha (Livestock Development), Yusuf Ata (State, Housing and Urban Development), and Suwaiba Ahmad (State Education).
Akpabio referred the nominees to the Committee of the Whole for further legislative action as soon as possible.
