Olaniyonu, however did not confirm if the list was the last to be sent to the Senate for screening and confirmation.
“We don’t know until the Senate President opens the envelop tomorrow. We do not know the number (of nominees) it contained.“We just assumed that that is the last batch. I am not sure it will extend to a third batch,’’ he said.
The President Buhari had in a letter dated Sept. 30, submitted a list of 21 ministerial nominees to the Senate for confirmation.
The President, who said that the first submission was a partial list of ministerial nominees, assured that “the list of the remaining nominees will follow shortly.”
Findings showed that the second batch of nominees was submitted to Sen. Saraki by the Chief of Staff to the President, Alhaji Abba Kyari, accompanied by Sen. Ita Enang.
The Senate will on Tuesday commence the screening and confirmation of first list of ministerial nominees.
