JUST-IN: 48 Hours After Nomination, Senate Confirms Darma As Housing Minister

The Senate has confirmed Muttaqha Rabe Darma as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The confirmation of Darma was a sequel to his screening in the Senate’s Committee of the Whole on Thursday, which was a question and answer session.

President Bola Tinubu had on Wednesday written to the Senate, seeking the screening and subsequent confirmation of Darma as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Akpabio, who read the communication from President Tinubu, thereafter, referred the request to the Committee of the Whole for further legislative action, with a directive to report back as soon as practicable.

Following his confirmation and subsequent swearing-in, the Minister-designate will oversee the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development following the removal of Arc. Ahmed Dangiwa from the office a couple of days ago.
