ICYMI: Bill to Attach Portfolios for Nominees Passes Second Reading
The House of Representatives has passed a bill requiring portfolios to be included in the nomination list of Ministers and Commissioners by the President or State Governors.
The House of Representatives has passed a bill requiring portfolios to be included in the nomination list of Ministers and Commissioners by the President or State Governors.
The bill which was sponsored by Eugene Dibiagwu (APC, Imo) and debated on Thursday, seeks to amend sections 147 and 192 of the Nigerian constitution and improve scrutiny of nominees by lawmakers.
Meanwhile, President Bola Tinubu attached portfolios to the seven ministerial nominees he recently sent to the Senate for screening.
However, President Bola Tinubu’s advisers argued that not attaching portfolios to Appointees allows the President to reshuffle his cabinet without resubmitting names to the National Assembly.
Also, a bill proposing an extension of the retirement age of health workers in Nigeria has been passed for a second reading.
