For the first time, each nominee is assigned a portfolio before the screening process. Senate President Godswill Akpabio, on Thursday, read Tinubu’s letter asking the Senate to consider these candidates promptly. Akpabio then referred the presidential request to the Committee of the Whole for accelerated consideration.
“Distinguished colleagues, the presidential request is referred to the committee of the whole for consideration very soon,” Akpabio announced.
A senior Senate member told ThisDay that the screening process is expected to begin next Tuesday, with the possibility of concluding it by Wednesday.
