President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has nominated former Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo as minister.
The president also revokes the ministerial nomination of Maryam Shetty from Kano and replaced her with Dr Mariya Mahmud Bunkure.
Tinubu announced this in a letter addressed to Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
The letter was read on the floor of the Senate at Friday’s Plenary Session.
President Tinubu says his decision is in line with the provisions of section 147(2) of the 1999 Constitution as Amended.
Recall that President Tinubu through his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila submitted an additional list of ministerial nominees on Wednesday containing the name of Maryam Shetty during the ongoing Ministerial Screening.
