Senate Postpones Ministerial Screening Till Tuesday

The Senate has postponed screening of ministerial nominees till early next week.

Also confirming the postponement, Chairman, Senate Adhoc Committee On Media, Dino Melaye, said the exercise  is being delayed for a couple of days to allow those that are yet to be screened put together their Curriculum Vitae (CV).

At the end of Day 2 of the screening and confirmation at the national assembly, only eight out of the 10 ministerial nominees were screened.

While one nominee was dropped by the presidency, the other, the former governor of Rivers State Chibuike Amaechi, was rescheduled for early next week.

All 18 nominees, who appeared before the Senate, have been cleared for ministerial appointments by President Muhammadu Buhari.
