President Bola Tinubu's ministerial list has been reported to have forwarded the list to the Red Chamber on Tuesday, July 18.
Neither the presidency nor the Senate has officially confirmed the report to be true, and the speculations have been going around the media.
When President Tinubu must unveil his ministerial list
The president is expected to forward the names of the minister to list to the National Assembly on or before July 27 when he would be sixty days in office.
This is based on the new law that compelled the President and Governors to unveil members of his cabinet list within the first 60 days of resuming office.
President Tinubu was earlier reported to have sent the names to the ministers to the Department of State Service (DSS) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for scrutiny, and that was reported to be the determinant for their appointment.
