The Senate has rescheduled Tuesday’s screening of seven cabinet nominations.
This was revealed in a brief statement made in Abuja at around midday by Senator Basheer Lado, the Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters.
According to Lado, the change was required to give the seven ministerial nominees time to finish the required paperwork.
He did not specify the time of the screening, though reports show that it might be moved to Wednesday (tomorrow).
The following is said in the release under “Ministerial screening postponement”: “The Senate has decided to postpone the planned screening of Ministerial Nominees.
The screening has been rescheduled for Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at 12 p.m. prompt. We appreciate your patience and understanding. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sent seven ministerial nominees to the Senate last Thursday. They are as follows: Muhammadu Dingyadi (Labour & Employment); Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu (State Foreign Affairs); Dr. Jumoke Oduwole (Industry, Trade and Investment); Idi Mukhtar Maiha (Livestock Development); Yusuf Ata (State, Housing and Urban Development); and Dr. Suwaiba Ahmad (State Education)
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is confident that these nominees will bring valuable expertise and experience to their respective ministries. The rescheduled screening on October 30th will provide an opportunity for the Senate to thoroughly evaluate their qualifications and capabilities.
