The Senate on Monday commenced the confirmation hearing of President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial nominees.
This followed a motion moved by the Senate Leader, Senator Dave Umahi.
Last week, Tinubu transmitted a 28-man list of ministerial nominees to the senate for screening.
The minister-designate list was sent to the senate through Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.
