Delaying Annual Recess for Confirmation Hearing
Due to the reception of the ministerial nominees’ names from President Bola Tinubu for screening and confirmation, the Senate is now expected to defer its annual recess, which was initially supposed to commence today, Thursday.
Instead, the Senate will proceed with its regular activities until next week when the annual break will begin after the confirmation hearing.
A source among the Senators mentioned, “You know the Senate and the House of Representatives are supposed to embark on 6-week annual long recess from today, but with the transmission of names of ministerial nominees to us by President Bola Tinubu for screening and confirmation, we have to decide whether to wait for one week to do that or go for the recess and come for the assignment in between,” as reported by the Blueprint.
Awaiting Further Updates
As the situation unfolds, the Senate is expected to provide more details shortly regarding the confirmation hearing and the subsequent course of action.
The list of ministerial nominees has been a matter of great interest to the public, and Nigerians are eager to learn who will be appointed to serve in crucial ministerial positions.
