*Sets screening for Monday.
The Nigerian Senate will on Wednesday receive the second ministerial list from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This was disclosed on Wednesday by a law maker source who spoke with Punch correspondent. According to the source, the names on the list would be read at today's (Wednesday) plenary.
The report also noted that the screening of the first 28 batch will be concluded today (Wednesday) to make way for the screening of those in the second batch expected to commence on Monday.
“By Wednesday, the new set of nominees will be unveiled, so that by Monday, we will be through with their screening.
