The Senate, after seven days of screening, has confirmed forty-five of the forty-eight ministerial nominees presented by President Bola Tinubu.
The Senate on Monday failed to confirm the immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir el-Rufai; former Deputy Governor of Taraba State, Senator Abubakar Danladi; and Stella Okotete, from Delta State over security report.
Speaking after Monday’s screening, Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, said the Senate did not clear them because of security reports that must be cleared.
However, the senators confirmed immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike; Deputy Majority Senate Leader and former Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi; former Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo SAN; Lateef Fagbemi, SAN; Mr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, Simon Bako Lalong and Mr. Dele Alake as Ministers-designate.
