Seven days after the submission of a list of 28 ministerial nominees to the Senate, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday submitted a fresh batch.
Though yet to be unveiled as at the time of filing in this report, the list was yet to be unveiled. It believed to have the remaining ministerial nominees from states and geopolitical zonal representations.
The Chief of Staff to President, Femi Gbajabiamila submitted President Bola Tinubu’s supplementary ministerial list to the Senate.
The immediate past Speaker of the House of Representatives submitted the second list with the second batch of ministerial nominees to Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, at exactly 03:19pm.
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio received the list contained in a white envelope, which he kept on the table and continued to direct screening proceedings.
Mr Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, was the nominee being screened when Gbajabiamila was allowed into the Senate chambers after the Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele had invoked the necessary provision of the Senate Standing Rules to so admit him to deliver the executive communication.
Akpabio is expected to read out the names of nominees in the supplementary list at the end of the ongoing screening.
Gbajabiamila had last Thursday submitted the first list with 28 nominees to the red chamber and said more names would be forwarded to the upper chamber.
