Tinubu sends ministerial list to DSS, EFCC and security agencies for scrutiny
With just 18 days remaining for the constitutionally allowed time for constitution of federal cabinet President Bola Tinubu has sent the list of ministerial nominees to some security agencies.
The list were sent to the the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Department of State Services (DSS), and other security agencies.
The agencies are to check on individuals penciled down on the list before Senate’s confirmation.
According to report, the DSS and members of the Presidential Strategic Team were running final checks on the people who had been listed as possible ministers.
The Nigerian constitution demands that the President announces his ministerial appointments within sixty days of assuming office and transmits the list to the Senate for confirmation.
With less than 18 days to submit his cabinet list to the National Assembly as recommended by the constitution, lawmakers and Nigerians are anxiously waiting for the list of ministers who would help to deliver the President’s renewed hope agenda.
It will be recalled that Dele Alake who was Tinubu campaign spokesman had in March bragged that it will not take Tinubu one month to constitute it’s cabinet but it’s going to two months after swearing and inauguration of the regime and Nigerians are still waiting.
