Facts emerged on Monday that Acting President Goodluck Jonathan would forward only a list of returning ministers to the Senate on Tuesday (today) for consideration.

This is contrary to widespread belief that a full list of 42 ministerial nominees would be submitted this week.

A top Presidency source disclosed in Abuja that Jonathan decided to limit the ministerial nominees to those retained in the dissolved Federal Executive Council because of the need to ensure urgent and smooth screening of those affected.

If things work according to plans, the screening of this set of ministers would have been completed by Thursday when the Senate embarks on another break.

New ministerial nominees go through rigorous screening sessions unlike those who had undergone such rituals before.

In some cases as where some of them had been parliamentarians, either in the Senate or House of Representatives, they simply bow and go; a display of espirit de corp; to the delight of the nominees and senators.

The idea to forward this first batch of ministers is to have some ministers in place in order not to stifle government business, as permanent secretaries holding the forte currently have little they could do in policy formulations and implementation.

Also, it was learnt that the Acting President had dropped all the members of President Umau Yar’Adua’s kitchen cabinet.
