After 8 days of lacklustre screening of ministerial nominees, the Senate on Monday cleared 45 out of the 48 persons nominated as ministers by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio said 45 nominees were confirmed while the remaining three, former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir Elrufai (Kaduna), Abubakar Sani Danladi (Taraba) and Stella Okotete (Delta) were awaiting security clearance.
