The appointment of forty-three (43) ministerial nominees sent to the hallow upper chamber of the national assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari has been confirmed by the Senate.
Buhari had last Tuesday sent a list of potential ministers to the Senate for screening.
The Senate postponed its annual vacation to conduct the screening of the ministers.
The nominees were screened within five days.
While the seven women on the list were simply asked to address the upper chamber , bow and go, their male counterparts answered questions thrown at them by the lawmakers , with the exception of former lawmakers , who were also asked to take a bow and go.
