At Last, Senate Unveil Ministerial List

A few hours to the deadline set by the constitution for the composition of the Federal Executive Council, FEC, the Nigerian Senate on Thursday, finally unveiled the much awaited ministerial list. 

Speculations heightened early Thursday when it was announced that the list has been transmitted to the National Assembly for screening through the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, now Chief of Staff to the President, Rt Hon Femi Gbajabiamila. 

Following the development, it became apparent that the list, which include four immediate past state governors, one of whom is a serving Senator, would be unveiled today, Thursday, to beat the statutory deadline. 

Although forty ministers have been proposed by the President, the released list contained only 28 nominees.
