The Senate will on Wednesday, June 29, screen the seven ministerial nominees forwarded to it by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, said this shortly before the Upper Chamber adjourned plenary to Tuesday next week.
Recall that President Buhari, in a letter dated 15th June 2022, requested the Upper Chamber to confirm the nomination of seven ministerial nominees. The request according to Buhari was in accordance with Section 147(2) of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.
Lawan said that the nominees will be screened individually by the upper chamber during the plenary.
They are: Henry Ikechukwu Ikoh (Abia State); Umana Okon Umana (Akwa-Ibom State); Ekumankama Joseph Nkama (Ebonyi State); and Goodluck Nanah Opiah (Imo State).
Others are Umar Ibrahim El-Yakub (Kano State); Ademola Adewole Adegoroye; (Ondo State), and Odum Udi (Rivers State).
