Full list of ministers confirmed by senate, states, region

The Senate has confirmed some of the ministerial nominees by President Bola Tinubu following their screening on Monday, August 7.

During a plenary on Monday, August 7, Godswill Akpabio, the Senate president, announced the confirmation of 45 of the 48 persons nominated by President Tinubu, as monitored by Legit.ng on NTA.

President Tinubu, on July 27, forwarded the names of 28 ministerial nominees to the Red Chamber through the chief of staff to the President and former speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.

The president afterwards transmitted the names of 19 other candidates on Tuesday, August 1, including former governors, Senators, technocrats and party loyalists.

In a dramatic scenario, the president wrote to the senate to withdraw the name of Maryam Shetty and replace her with Mariya Mahmoud, following the criticism of her nomination on Social media and nominated the Festus Keyamo on Thursday, August 3.
