ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The Senate is currently in a closed-door meeting few minutes into the commencement of today’s plenary.
The meeting is largely necessary due to the list of ministerial nominees believed to have been submitted by the Presidency.
The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, soon after taking petitions, which is the fifth item in the Order Paper, announced that the Senators should go into an executive session after the leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele (APC, Ekiti Central) had made the announcement.
The Senate entered into the closed-door session at 11.59 a.m.
According to Vanguard, the meeting may be about the ministerial nominees from President Bola Tinubu.
