Ochili Michael
Senate Transmits Names Of 45 Confirmed Ministerial Nominees To Presidency. Some of the nominees includes:  from the North-West are Badaru Abubakar from Jigawa State, Mariya Mahmoud (Kano), Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo (Kano), Ahmed Dangiwa (Katsina), Hannatu Musawa (Katsina), Dr. Yusuf Tanko Sununu (Kebbi), Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), Bello Muhammad Goronyo (Sokoto) and Bello Matawalle from Zamfara State. There are several several negative effects of screening ministerial nominees by the Nigeria Senate without stating their portfolios: 1.
