The Nigerian Senate has postponed the scheduled screening of seven ministerial nominees initially set for Tuesday. Senator Basheer Lado, Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters, announced the shift in a statement released in Abuja.

The ministerial nominees awaiting screening include:

  • Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda (Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction),
  • Muhammadu Dingyadi (Labour & Employment),
  • Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu (State Foreign Affairs),
  • Dr. Jumoke Oduwole (Industry, Trade, and Investment),
