Saraki Is With The Ministerial List...read On by rooftech: 2:15am On Sep 30, 2015
The Senate is expected to unveil the list of ministerial nominees for the cabinet of President Muhammadu Buhari on September 30, 2015.
An insider source at the Senate confided in Daily Independent Tuesday that the much protected list of nominees along with the cover letter as signed by President Buhari was handed over to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Tuesday September 30 and will be read at the plenary.
The source however said it will be preposterous for anyone to categorically mention names as listed by the president, saying the list is still being jealously guided by the Senate President in accordance with the request by the president that the content be made available only on the floor of the Chamber.
Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matter, Senator Ita Enang, reportedly handed over the list to the Senate President at the end of yesterday’s plenary session.
However, the Senate has promised the ministerial nominees a thorough screening exercise whenever they are called to appear for confirmation at the Senate.
However, in doing that, the Senate also said it will not unnecessarily delay the screening exercise even as standard won’t be compromised.
The Senate declared emphatically that it would not observe the “bow and go” tradition in screening the ministerial nominees just as it said it would allow merit and competence to guide it in the screening exercise.
As at the commencement of the yesterday plenary after a six-week holiday, Senator Saraki did not confirm the receipt of the ministerial list but only prepared the minds of his colleagues for the expected list, urguing them to be patriotic in handling the matter.
In his welcome address yesterday, he said ?”I want to urge you all my colleagues to ensure that what is uppermost in our minds as we begin the constitutional task of screening of ministerial nominees is the overall interest of our country, informed by the enormity and the urgency of the challenges before us.
“Once the list is submitted, let us ensure that we treat it with dispatch and thoroughness.”
Also, the Senate said it would review the 2015 budget with a view to making positive impact on the economy.
This position was also contained in Saraki’s speech at the resumption of Senate in Plenary yesterday.
The President is said to be preparing to present a supplementary budget for 2015 to the National Assembly soon as the last administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan was said to have exhausted the borrowing limit set in the implementation of the Capital Projects in the budget for the year 2015, even before handling over government to the Buhari administration on May 29.
Yesterday, Saraki identified economic challenges as a rock that must be brought down if the government of the day will not be considered a failure by Nigerians.
“The biggest challenge face by our country today is the state of our economy. The dwindling oil revenue has brought enormous shock to our economy and greatly limited the capacity of government at various levels to meet even basic commitments.
“Our country has gone through periods of recession in the past. What we face today is however unprecedented in ramification and potential gravity.
“We must think hard and work hard with the Executive to achieve greater clarity in policy direction and interventions.
“We shall therefore commence immediately, a review of the 2015 budget and begin now to lay down the fundamental principles that would determine the 2016 budget and the philosophy of our economy in times like this.
“Like I mentioned earlier, legislative agenda must take precedent over all other things in this Senate. I have no doubt that we are all capable of putting in the long hours, but those long hours must be invested primarily, in debating and making the laws that would move our country forward.
“We are here to proffer policy solutions and minimize hardship amongst our people. Any other objective must be secondary. The externalized distractions we have ha
