The name of the immediate-past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai, was on Monday missing from the list of the ministerial nominees confirmed by the Senate.
Also missing on the list was the name of Senator Abubakar Danlandi from Taraba State and former Nexim Bank Managing Director, Stella Okotete from Delta State.
The Senate approved and confirmed 45 out of the 48 nominees sent by President Bola Tinubu.
The Senate spokesperson, Yemi Adaramodu, explained that the red chamber is awaiting further legislative actions on the three unconfirmed nominees, which will be hinged on other arms of government.
