Ministerial nominees: Names of those who made Buhari’s partial list

President Muhammadu Buhari sent the most anticipated list to the Senate last week.

Senate President Bukola Sarkai and other senior lawmakers will screen the nominees next Tuesday.

Senate President Bukola Saraki announced it on Tuesday. The list contains 21 names, and is not complete yet.
