Senate To Screen Bosun Tijani, Maigari Ahmadu, Keyamo, Others Today

The Nigerian Senate is set to screen the last batch of ministerial nominees today (Saturday) sent by President Bola Tinubu.

Naija News understands that the Red Chamber is also expected to confirm the entire 48 nominees today during an emergency plenary.

The upper legislative Chamber which was due to proceed on its long holiday by the end of July, 2023, suspended the holiday to ensure that the screening and confirmation of ministerial nominees is done before proceeding on the annual recess.

According to the Order Paper of the plenary proceedings released on Saturday, the nominees up for screening before the Senate include Lola Ade-John (Lagos), Bosun Tijani (Ogun), Dr Isiaka Salako (Ogun), Dr Tahir Mamman (Adamawa), Uba Maigari Ahmadu (Tarabara), Dr. Mariya Mahmoud (Kano) and Festus Keyamo (Delta).

Recall that the President had on Wednesday, through his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, sent an additional list of 19 nominees to complement the previously sent 28 ministerial nominees.
