Ministerial List: Femi Gbajabiamila speaks on second batch of President Tinubu’s nominees

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's led federal government may create new ministries from the existing ones, Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President, disclosed on Thursday, July 27, in Abuja.

A 28 minister-nominees list was submitted to the National Assembly by Gbajabiamila and was read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, on Thursday.

Giving an insight into President Tinubu's ministerial list, Gbajambiamila said, the second batch will be unveiled soon and more ministries will be created, Daily Trust reported.

Gbajabiamila said that the nominees were chosen after undergoing strict personal screening by the president.

He said that a second part comprising 13 names would be sent to the assembly, adding that this was part of the process of having a cabinet for the administration.

‘’As his letter stated, and was read on the floor of the Senate, the remaining names, not sure how many, probably about 12, maybe 13, will be forwarded to the Senate in the coming days.

‘’As far as the nominees themselves are concerned, and like I said, Mr President took his time to sift through those names,’’ he said.

The Chief of Staff said that the president decided to follow the line of tradition by not attaching the portfolio of the nominees in the letter to the Senate in order to give room for reviews.
