The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan has said that the Senate will receive the list of ministerial nominees from President Mohammadu Buhari before Friday.
Sen. Bassey Akpan (PDP-Akwa Ibom) had come under order 43 to remind the Senate President and his colleagues of the delay in transmitting the list by the Executive.
The Senate through its spokesperson, Sen. Dayo Adeyeye had expressed readiness to begin work on the list anytime sent by the President.
Lawan, allayed the fears of his colleagues by saying government is doing everything possible to send the list to the Senate for screening and confirmation in a few days time.
“This is to inform the senate that the Executive arm of Government is working very hard to send the list of ministerial nominees to the senate and, I want to assure you that once we get the list every senator here has shown the desire to stay long enough to screen and confirm the nominees in the interest of the country,” he said.
