President Muhammadu Buhari has forwarded names of two new ministerial nominees to the senate for confirmation.
According to reports by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the letter containing the names of the nominees arrived the Senate on Tuesday evening.
The nominees on the list are from Kogi and Gombe states.
The Kogi nominee will be replacing James Ocholi, the late minister of state for labour, while the one from Gombe would replace Amina Mohammed, former minister for environment, who is currently United Nations deputy secretary- general.
Only yesterday, the Senate has decided not to confirm any nominee from President Muhammadu Buhari.
The upper chamber had refused to confirm the nominees for resident electoral commissioners (RECs) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), stating that the presidency was disregarding its proceedings.
The Senators berated the president for appearing to be doing nothing about their rejection of Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the EFCC.
