The much awaited ministerial list is yet to arrive the Senate. Senate
President Bukola Saraki in his address this morning said the Senate is
still waiting for the list
"As we await the list of ministerial nominees this week, I believe the
presence of ministers will create the space for greater policy
engagement with the Executive Arm of government and enable us to begin
to respond in a more systematic manner to the various economic and
social challenges before us, especially through our various Committees
that will also be constituted soon.
On this note, I want to urge you all my colleagues to
ensure that what is uppermost in our minds as we begin the
constitutional task of screening of ministerial nominees is the overall
interest of our country, informed by the enormity and the urgency of the
challenges before us. Once the list is submitted, let us ensure that we
treat it with dispatch. We must not be held down by unnecessary
politicking. The enormity of our national challenges at this time does
not give room for pettiness or politics of vendetta"he said
