President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday sent names of three additional ministerial nominees to the Senate for approval.
This was conveyed in a letter read by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, at plenary in which Dr Jamila Ibrahaim and Ayodele Olawande were nominated as Minister of Youth and Minister of State for Youth respectively while Abbas Balarabe was nominated as the replacement for former Kaduna Governor, Nasir El-Rufai for the position of Minister of Power.
It would be recalled that El-Rufai’s name was missing from the list of ministerial nominees confirmed by the Senate in August following petitions presented during the screening, particularly those sent by the Senator representing Kogi West, Sunday Karimi.
In the letter, the President charged the nominees to ensure that they consistently reflect the dynamism, innovative zeal, and unyielding productivity that are compatible with the young people of Nigeria as they discharge their duties.
