Nigerian Senate on Wednesday, confirmed Professor Steven Ikani Ocheni ‎and Suleiman Zarma Hassan as ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The letter of the duo’s nomination was read on the floor of the Senate on the 29th of March, 2017.

Senate President Bukola Saraki presided on the day the letter was read.

Before their confirmation, Ocheni and Hassan were questioned by lawmakers on issues bothering on the economy, corruption, poverty reduction, recession and workers’ welfare.

Ocheni was nominated more than one year after a former Minister of State for Labour, James Ocholi, died in a ghastly motor accident, along Kaduna-Abuja road.

Hassan is to replace Amina Mohammed, who currently serves as the Deputy Secretary-General ‎of the United Nations (UN).

She resigned in February, while President Buhari was away in the United Kingdom (UK) for a routine medical checkup.

Professor Ocheni, until his appointment, was a lecturer in the Kogi State University.

The letter nominating them had read: “In accordance with section 147 (2) of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, I have the honour to forward the underlisted ministerial nominees for confirmation of the Senate.Stephen Ikani Ocheni (professor), Kogi State and Suleiman Zana Hassan, Gombe State.

“It is my hope that this exercise will receive the usual kind of expeditious consideration of the distinguished of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

So after the initial gra-gra from these junkies in the red chamber they finally confirmed the ministerial list of executive noisemakers.

The Executive and the legislators now have something to add to their long sour list of achievements.

NASS is doing a good job... Just wanna frustrate the Presidency because of their policies and to show they are one of the 3 tiers of government..

Don't know why though

Because you're thinking with your Anus.

Is this to navigate our concerns away from the island of the fact that Buhari has been missing?

Go and chop your own national cake..


The north dey enjoy sha...

Who will swear them in ooooooo.

I hope the constitution allows the VP to do it.

It seems like Saraki's Senate set trap for PMB with this one. They delayed till he became incapacitated.

Congrats to the duo...

Ministers self dan plenty non ministers

Otapipia:

Because you're thinking with your Anus.

Ouch that hurts

Finally Ocholi has been replaced. Buhari would take time to appoint minister as if he is wanting d best. The ones appointed have not lived up to expectation

you actually wanted to write bordering and not bothering

even at that it is still a wrong choice of word
