Buhari will submit ministerial list this week – Lawan

Senate president, Ahmad Lawan, has said that president Muhammadu Buhari will submit the list of ministerial nominees for the consideration and approval of the red chamber this week.

Lawan stated this at the plenary today.

He explained that the executive arm of government is working hard to ensure that the list is ready early enough before the senators proceed on their annual two-month recess.

The senate president was reacting to a point of order raised by Senator Bassey Akpan to the effect that the delay in the submission of the list could affect the holidays of the senators.

He also expressed confidence that the nominees would be screened by the upper chamber before the annual vacation which would commence on July the 26th .
