Ministerial List: President Tinubu to unveil second batch of appointees today

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will send the second batch of his ministerial appointees to the Senate for screening today, August 2, according to reports.

According to the PUNCH, the new list will be released either very late on Wednesday night or early Thursday on Thursday morning.

A source close to the PUNCH indicated that the new ministerial list will be read at the plenary today.

He added that the screening of the first batch of 28 nominees will be concluded today to make way for screening of the next batch.

“By Wednesday, the new set of nominees will be unveiled, so that by Monday, we will be through with their screening.

“We want to conclude with the screening before we go on our recess. We wouldn’t want a situation where we would go on recess and we would now start calling lawmakers to back to come for screening,” the source said.

The Senate screened half of the nominees on Monday, July 31, including the former governor of Rivers State and PDP Chieftain, Nyesom Wike.
