Others on the list were former governor of Ekiti State, Niyi Adebayo, Senator Gbemisola Saraki, Senator Olutayo Alasoadura, immediate past governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, Senator Adeleke Mamora, and former transport minister, Rotimi Amaechi.
The Nigerian Senate had earlier announced it would be proceeding on a two-month recess on Thursday. This means the ministerial nominees are expected to be screened before the commencement of the legislative recess.
With the ministerial list increased from 36 ministers during Buhari first term to 42 this term, it is believed that each state, as well as each geopolitical zone, will have a representative.
