BREAKING: Senate Confirms Bianca, Oduwole, Others as Ministers

[By Abigail Philip David]

The Senate has confirmed Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu as the new Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.

Other confirmed nominees include Dr. Jumoke Oduwole as Minister of Industry, Trade, and Development; Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction; Muhammadu Dingyadi as Minister of Labour and Employment; Idi Muktar Maiha as Minister of Livestock Development; Yusuf Ata as Minister of State for Housing; and Dr. Suwaiba Said Ahmad as Minister of State for Education.

The confirmations followed a five-hour screening session in the Senate. Earlier, Senate Majority Leader Opeyemi Bamidele moved a motion to suspend the Senate’s rules, allowing Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters, Basheer Lado, to introduce the nominees into the plenary.

Last Thursday, Senate President Godswill Akpabio read a letter from President Bola Tinubu, officially nominating the new ministers.
