The Senate has commenced the screening of seven ministerial nominees announced by President Bola Tinubu last Wednesday.
The screening session took place in the red chamber on Wednesday, following a postponement from the previous day.
The screening began with Nentawe Yilwatda, who has been nominated to succeed Betta Edu as the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
In a notable move, the Senate suspended its rules to accommodate the admission of the ministerial nominees.
The other nominees undergoing screening include: Bianca Odumegu-Ojukwu for the position of Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Maigari Dingyadi for Minister of Labour and Employment, Jumoke Oduwole for Minister of Industry, Idi Maiha as Minister for the newly established Livestock Development Ministry, Yusuf Ata for Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development and Suwaiba Ahmad for Minister of State for Education
