 Senate postpones screening of Bianca Ojukwu, other ministerial nominees


The Nigerian Senate has postponed the screening of President Bola Tinubu’s new ministerial nominees.

This is to enable the nominees to conclude all aspects of documentation and pre-screening exercises.

The screening exercise was initially scheduled to hold on Tuesday but the red chamber of the National Assembly said the exercise has now been shifted to Wednesday.

 Tinubu last Wednesday sacked five ministers and nominated seven new ones, who are awaiting Senate confirmation.

Tinubu also re-assigned 10 ministers to new ministerial portfolios.

The President nominated Bianca Odumegu-Ojukwu as the Minister of State Foreign Affairs, while Nentawe Yilwatda was designated as the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, officially bringing an end to the tenure of the suspended Betta Edu.

Others nominated by the President were Maigari Dingyadi as the Minister of Labour and Employment, Jumoke Oduwole as the Minister of Industry, Idi Maiha as Minister for the newly created Livestock Development Ministry, Yusuf Ata as the Minister of State, Housing and Urban Development, and Suwaiba Ahmad as Minister of State, Education.
