The Senate has announced the postponement of its annual
recess for one week to enable members screen the ministerial nominees forwarded
by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The annual recess was initially billed to start on Friday
July 26th.
The Chairman, Senate ad hoc committee on Media and Public
Affairs, Senator Adedayo Adeyeye, stated this while addressing journalists on
Tuesday. Adeyeye added that the Senate would start the screening on Wednesday.
He said since the exercise would be thorough, the Senate
would suspend its rules to sit beyond 2pm and conduct plenary on Mondays and
Fridays until all the nominees have been successfully screened.
