A highly anticipated development is underway in Nigeria’s political landscape, as President Bola Tinubu is poised to send a fresh batch of ministerial nominees to the Senate for screening. According to an exclusive and credible source within the Senate, the names are expected to be received either on Tuesday night or very early on Wednesday morning.
The unveiling of the new ministerial nominees is scheduled to take place during the plenary session today. The screening process for the 28 nominees is expected to be promptly concluded, allowing for the next batch to be screened thereafter.
The Senate source emphasized the importance of efficiency in this screening process. The goal is to have the new set of nominees officially revealed by Wednesday, ensuring that the screening process is entirely completed by Monday. This approach is aimed at preventing any delays that could arise during the legislative recess.
The government seeks to avoid any disruptions during the recess, and it is committed to concluding the screening process promptly. This strategic move aims to streamline the nomination procedure and enable swift action on the part of the lawmakers.
