Senate President Ahmad Lawan has said that the screening and
confirmation of the nominees would begin on Wednesday.
He added that other legislative activities in the chamber would
take back seat to ensure the speedy completion of the important
assignment.
Lawan said this after reeling out the list on the floor of the
upper legislative chamber of the national assembly on Tuesday.
“The screening of the ministerial nominees will commence
tomorrow morning,” he said.
“All other legislative activities will take back stage for this
very important national assignment.”
President Muhammadu Buhari sent 43 ministerial nominees for
confirmation.
Some of those who made it back are Rotimi Amaechi, ex-minister
of transportation; Mohammed Bello, ex-minister of federal capital
territory (FCT); and Chris Ngige; ex-minister of labour and
employment; and Abubakar Malami, minister of justice among
others.
