President Muhammadu Buhari has finally forwarded his list of ministerial nominees to the Senate.
The list which was sent to the senate on Monday evening via executive communication is expected to be read on the floor of the senate on Tuesday.
The senate, which will be proceeding on a two-month recess on Thursday, is expected to screen the nominees.
Contrary to speculations, only about 12 ministers will be re-appointed from the former cabinet.
Recall that during his first term, Buhari appointed only 36 ministers, one per state.
He however has decided to appoint one per geo-political zone, bringing the total to 43.
