Full List: Senate Unveils Tinubu’s 28 Ministerial Nominees

The Senate has unveiled President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial nominees.

Women constitute a quarter of President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial nominees unveiled by the Senate on Thursday. The ministerial list contains 28 names, seven of whom are women.

The names were read by the Senate President, GodsWill Akpabio, at the plenary on Thursday.

The latter containing the list of the ministerial nominees was personally delivered by the Chief of Staff and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.

Prominent people who made the list are the immediate past Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, and his colleague from Kaduna, Nasir El-Rufai, and former Ebonyi Governor, David Umahi.

The women are Hannatu Musawa, Betta Edu, Doris Aniche Uzoka, Nkiru Onyeojiocha, Stella Okotete, Uju Kennedy Ohaneye and Iman Suleiman Ibrahim.

The proportion of women on the ministerial list falls short of the 35 percent Affirmative Action.

The Federal High Court in Abuja had in April 2022 ordered the federal government to enforce the National Gender Policy by allocating 35 percent of appointments in the public sector to women.

Nine civil society organisations had filed the suit against the Nigerian government on August 24, 2020, seeking the implementation of the 35 percent Affirmative Action in appointments of women into public office.
