 Hello, good evening to you. I am Kimberley Upiebo. This is News Now. The immediate past, River State Governor Yesam Wieke and his colleague from Kaduna Nasir-Urfai have made the list of ministerial nominees. President Bola Tinibu forwarded the ministerial list to the Senate in the wee hours of Thursday. The list is coming two days before the president's deadline as stipulated by the constitution as amended by the night assembly. Dr. Beta Eru, 7, Dr. Doris Anite Uzoka, 8, His Excellency David Bomae, 9, His Excellency Yesam Wieke, 10, His Excellency Muhammad Badaro Abubaka, CUN. His Excellency Muhammad Badaro Abubaka, CUN. 11, His Excellency Nasir Ahmed Erufai, CUN. Mr. Dili Alake, 19, Mr. Latif Fagwemi, S.A.N., 20, Mr. Muhammad Idris, 21, Mr. Olawale Edou, 25, Professor Joseph Utsev, 26, Senator Abubaka Kiari, 27, Senator John Enno. Why noting that the above list is not exhaustive and that additional nominations will be sent in due course? I hope that the aforementioned nominees will receive the expedition's consideration and confirmation of the Senate. Now, the chief of staff to the president, Fermi Bajbemile, has said the ministerial nominees list is a good mix of people with political acumen and technocrats noting that they are people who have keeled into the vision of President Bola Ahmed Tunibu to move Nigeria forward. He made this known during an interview with Newsmen shortly after submitting the ministerial list to the Senate. He said the president took his time to scrutinize the list himself to ensure he appointed people who would work and contribute to national development. It's a process. We're at the middle of the process now. As far as Mr. President is concerned, he has his cabinet. I'm sure there will be those who will be working behind the scenes, giving him advice even now before confirmation, in anticipation of confirmation, because there's no time to waste. Every day is important to this government. So, I mean, they may not start fully officially until they are confirmed, but I'm sure they will still continue to contribute, you know, advice here and there to Mr. President. The C.O.S., however, urged the Senate to hasten the confirmation process due to the current harsh times faced by the country. For all intents and purposes, work should start in earnest for them in the next week or two, because I don't see the Senate wasting too much time in the confirmation, not because they're not going to do a thorough job. They will do a thorough job, but they will balance it with the need, with the knowledge that time definitely, in these times that we're in, time is of the essence.
