With five days to the end of the 60-day constitutional window, the Senate is expected to receive the list of the President’s ministerial nominees this week.
The President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Tope Ajayi, in an interview with The PUNCH on Sunday said,
“Ministers’ List will be out this week. Let’s wait till the names are out.”
The 1999 Constitution stipulates that the President and governors must submit the names of persons nominated as ministers or commissioners within 60 days of taking the oath of office for confirmation by the Senate or the respective state Houses of Assembly.
Tinubu, who was sworn in as President on May 29, has to submit his ministerial list to the Senate before July 29 as mandated by law.
