Tinubu's ministerial list finally ready as nominees undergo security checks at DSS

There are indications that the ministerial list of President Bola Tinubu is ready and is currently undergoing security scrutiny at the Department of State Services (DSS) office.

The Punch reported that a source revealed that the names of those being considered for ministerial offices are going through the final check at the DSS and the Presidential Strategic Team.

According to the source,

“They have the list already. Several names have been written against their respective offices. But they just have to find out and do some checks on a few of these names. That’s what is delaying the list. They are being very strategic with this.”

If President Tinubu goes ahead with appointing ministers of state, he will provide 44 names that will be sent to the 10th Senate for screening and subsequent approval.

Earlier, it was reported that politicians flocked to the private residence of President Tinubu in Ikoyi, Lagos, so that they could struggle for ministerial slots, mostly during the Eid-el-Adha holidays when he was in Lagos.

President Tinubu is expected to unveil his ministerial list on or before July 28 as stipulated in the Nigeria constitution.

According to the law, the president is expected to unveil his ministerial nominees and forward the list to the Senate within the first 60 days that he resumed office.
