The screening and confirmation hearing is slated to commence on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at the Senate chamber.

A terse statement by the Presidential Aide on Monday night stated that the nominees were already submitting relevant documents to the Parliament as part of procedures for their screening and eventual confirmation by the Upper Legislative Chamber.

“The nominees are expected to be screened and confirmed by the Senate in compliance with Section 147 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As Amended),” he added.

LEADERSHIP reports that President Bola Tinubu had last week Thursday formally asked the Senate to confirm appointments of the seven ministerial nominees.
