Buhari sends nominations to the Senate for confirmation as Ministers
President Muhhamadu
Buhari has sent the names of Professor Stephen Ikani Ocheni and Mr. Suleiman
Hassan as Ministerial nominees for screening and subsequent confirmation.
This was contained in
letter from the number one citizen and read by Senate President, Bukola Saraki
during plenary today.
If confirmed, Professor
Ikani Ocheni from kogi state would replace former Minister of state, Labour and
Employment, Late Barrister James Ocholi who died in a road accident along
Kaduna- Abuja road on the 6th of March, while Mr. Suleiman Hassan
from Gombe would replace former Minister for Environment Mrs. Amina Mohammed
who had gone to serve in the United Nations as a deputy Secretary General.
The list of ministerial
nominees is coming at a time when the Senate resolved on issuing a 2-week
suspension of President Buhari request for the screening of Resident Electoral
Commissioners, based on what the lawmakers termed as disregard for its
resolutions.
