The Department of State Security Services (DSS) on Friday invited all the 21 candidates named by President Muhammadu Buhari for security checks.

The verification includes scrutiny of educational certificates, checks for any past prosecution, among others.

Also, Nigeria Police Force might subject the nominees to another documentation process, The Nation reports.

After the ongoing checks, a security report may be submitted to President Muhammadu Buhari and the Senate by the DSS on the suitability of the nominees.

At the DSS office yesterday were Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazzau, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, Suleiman Adamu, Chief Audu Ogbeh, Amina Mohammed, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Musa Ibeto, among others.

All the nominees were asked to fill Personal Identification Form (PIF) which requires data about their places of birth, schools attended, work experience and past offices held.

“The details provided will lead to further investigation by the DSS to confirm the veracity or otherwise of what they have filled in the PIF,” a source told The Nation.

“The security agencies are paying attention to the educational certificates of most of the nominees to avoid a situation where some Nigerians will join issues with these candidates.

“The essence of inviting these nominees is to certify that what they have pleaded is what they have. You will recall that some past leaders of the National Assembly tampered with their age and a few others presented fake certificates. The era of bloated Curriculum Vitae is gone. We do not want any nominee to embarrass the President in the Senate.

“We have had instances in the past where ministers could not even locate their certificates or past records of service.”

“Any nominee with any challenge capable of creating image crisis for the government or unfit to be a minister may be dropped.”

Lalasticlala

Haven't they been screened by the DSS and EFCC before now..or is this 2nd missionary screening??

Abeg, name the Ministers and lets get on.

Great move.Buhari means business.

Nigeria must forward whether PDP likes it or not.

Ok

All this is just BULL. The nominees and the FOOLISH president can submit themselves to the CIA, Mossad and Mi6, for all we care. The major thing is that if they do not meet the requirements of the Senate, they should just forget it, irrespective of the constitution's diction of the 21 days rule. Amaechi and the 20 thieves better get into their thick skull, that the President can't save them, the earlier they recognize this, the better.

Should this mean there is still the possibility of some ministers being dropped? choi!

APC is synonymous with confusion.



DSS, EFCC and ICPC have vetted the list before it was sent to the Senate.



The Senate did Same and then send it again to DSS


The DSS will vet it again but the common man still knows that ROTIMI AMAECHI is a THIEF.



What have they been Vetting?

APC and Buhari should stop taking Nigerians for fools. Today, they will tell us how the ministerial nominees were cleared by DSS, tomorrow they will tell us how the ministerial nominees WILL be cleared by the same DSS. What a confused set of people.

Why I nor go protest wen you go dey feed us with fake info

foolish people, you want to check their school attended when the dullard has no O level himself

Good. Baba is in control.

It took 5 months yet they are still screening. Confused set of people.

Watching .....sarikis case almost catched fire after a hidden court session that news men and cameras were denied access to they adjourned the case to only GOD knows when few weeks ago the list was trending and no appointments were made even at 1st of October up till now let's not waste our time and decive ourselves u will still find out dat all d norminies were screened and no 1 was found guilty all this things will surely come to pass.....qoute me anywhere this is nigeria and we know as he dey be

Well done!

This game is getting more interesting

“We have had instances in the past where ministers could not even locate their certificates or past records of service.”

Buhari lacks the moral right to ask for their certificates , Afterall he himself has
no school cert.
Even if they present Nepa Bill , they must still be cleared

Sai baba
