President Goodluck Jonathan has forwarded the names of eight ministerial nominees to the Senate for confirmation.
They are Senator Patricia Akwashiki from Nasarawa, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro from Lagos, Professor Nicholas Ada from Benue and Colonel Augustine Akobundu from Abia State.
Others are Mr Fidelis Nwankwo from Ebonyi, Mrs Hauwa’u Lawan from Jigawa, Mr Kenneth Kobani from Rivers and Senator Joel Ikenya from Taraba State.
The Senate is yet to fix a date for the screening of the ministerial nominees.
