President Muhammadu Buhari has sent names of two ministerial nominees to the Nigerian Senate. A reliable source from the Senate has confirmed.
It was learnt that the nominees are from Kogi and Gombe states. The Kogi State nominee will replace the late Barrister James Ocholi who until his death was the minister of state for labour and productivity while the Gombe State nominee will replace the former minister of environment, Ms Amina Mohammed who has since taken up a job with the United Nations.
The list is believed to be the first step to a major cabinet reshuffle of the Buhari administration.
