The Nigerian Senate has confirmed 45 out of the 48 ministerial nominees of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. However, the Senate failed to confirm the nomination of the immediate past Governor of Kaduna State and the ministerial nominee from Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
After its seven days of screening of the forty eight ministerial nominees sent to it for screening by President Tinubu, the Senate did not also confirm the appointment of the former Deputy Governor of Taraba State and a Ministerial nominee from Taraba State, Senator Abubakar Danladi. Also not confirmed by the Senate for nomination is one of the Ministerial nominees from Delta State, Stella Okotete.
According to the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, the Senate did not clear the three because of security reports that must be cleared.
