The President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Tope Ajayi, in an interview said,
“Ministers’ List will be out this week. Let’s wait till the names are out.”
The 1999 Constitution stipulates that the President and governors must submit the names of persons nominated as ministers or commissioners within 60 days of taking the oath of office for confirmation by the Senate or the respective state Houses of Assembly.
The silence over the ministerial list has generated concerns amongst Nigerians.
But speaking to The PUNCH in Abuja on Sunday, the spokesperson for the Senate, Yemi Adaramodu (APC, Ekiti South), said the upper chamber has enough time to screen the ministerial nominees within the stipulated time.
earlier reported that the names of the ministerial nominees will likely be unveiled by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, at the plenary this week.
