The Senate has approved the appointments of all seven ministerial nominees put forward by President Bola Tinubu, which were submitted for expedited consideration last week.
This decision followed the nominees’ screening by the upper chamber on Wednesday, which took place at the red chamber after being postponed on Tuesday.
The Senate waived its rules to allow the admission of the ministerial nominees.
The screening process began with Nentawe Yilwatda, who was nominated to succeed Betta Edu as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
Other nominees screened included Bianca Odumegu-Ojukwu for Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Maigari Dingyadi for Minister of Labour and Employment, and Jumoke Oduwole for Minister of Industry. Additionally, Idi Maiha was screened for the newly established Livestock Development Ministry, Yusuf Ata for Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, and Suwaiba Ahmad for Minister of State for Education.
Each nominee was questioned on how to effectively manage their respective ministries, providing satisfactory responses that led to their subsequent confirmations.
