Days after the submission of a list of 28 ministers-nominees to the Senate, President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday submitted the second list.
The list has the remaining ministers-nominees from states and geo-political zonal representations yet to be filled.
The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, submitted President Bola Tinubu’s supplementary ministerial list to the Senate at 3.18 pm during the extended screening of nominees in the Committee of the Whole House.
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio received the list contained in a white envelope, which he kept on the table and continued to direct screening proceedings.
Mr Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, was the nominee being screened when Gbajabiamila was allowed into the Senate chambers after the Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, had invoked the necessary provisions of the Senate Standing Rules to so admit him to deliver the executive communication.
The Senate President is expected to read out the names of nominees in the supplementary list at the end of the ongoing screening.
