Tinubu sends three additional ministerial nominees to Senate

President Bola Tinubu has transmitted three additional names of ministerial nominees to the Senate.

The three nominees are Jamila Bio, Balarebe Abbas and Olawale Olawande.

This was contained in a letter read by the Senate President, GodsWill Akpabio, at the plenary on Tuesday.

Abbas Balarabe was nominated as the replacement for the former Kaduna Governor, Nasir El-Rufai who was expected to head the ministry of power.

The fresh nomination is coming barely three months after the upper chamber of the National Assembly confirmed 45 nominees with various portfolios.

The Telegraph recalls that the Senate was unable to confirm the former Kaduna governor and two other nominees due to security and other issues.
