The Senate on Monday finally concluded the screening of 45 of the 48 ministerial nominees of President Bola Tinubu, confirming them as CABINET MEMBERS after a week of intense grilling for some and cursory introductions for others.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio had put the nominations to a series of voice votes, of which three are said to still be undergoing security clearance, including former Governor of Kaduna State Nasir El-Rufai, Stella Okotete (Delta State), and Abubakar Danladi (Taraba State).

The confirmation comes over a week after Tinubu’s transmission of a 28-member list to the red chamber for confirmation on July 27.
