President Tinubu announces ministers’ portfolios
Recall that the president recently announced the portfolios of his ministers.
Three nominees of the president were reportedly missing from the list of ministers that would benefit from the house allowance.
The affected nominees included Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State; Stella Okotete, the former All Progressives Congress (APC) national women leader; and Danladi Abubakar, the Taraba State ministerial nominees.
Why Senate did not confirm three minister nominees of President Tinubu
Earlier, the Senate had withheld the confirmation of three nominees by President Tinubu, citing security concerns.
The decisions have generated concerns among stakeholders in Nigeria’s polity, particularly concerning the nomination of El-Rufai, who earlier hinted that he would like to go for his PhD than become a minister.
Among the screened and confirmed ministers are Nyesom Wike, the former governor of Rivers State and now minister of FCT and Wale Edun, the minister of finance.
