Ministerial List: More Details About Buhari's Nomination

Exactly 54 days after being sworn-in as President, Muhammadu Buhari sent the list of ministerial nominees to the Senate for confirmation.

This delay is not new as the President did not appoint his ministers 6 months after he was sworn-in in 2015 of his first term in office.

The delay in the submission of the ministerial nominees to the Senate for confirmation made the Senate to announce it would proceed on its annual recess on Friday.

The annual recess is meant to start on July 26 and resume on September 26.

In 2015, President Buhari did not appoint his ministers 6 months after he was sworn in.

At the plenary today, Ahmad Lawan, President of the Senate, read out the names of 43 nominees sent by President Buhari to the lawmakers.
