The three ministerial nominees who have not yet received confirmation may be reinvited for further screening, according to Yemi Adaramodu, a spokesperson for the Senate.
Adaramodu revealed this while speaking on the Sunrise Daily morning show on Channels Television.
Due to security concerns, the Red Chamber declined to confirm Nasir El-Rufai, Stella Okotete, and Abubakar Danladi, the nominees from the states of Taraba and Delta.
Adaramodu answered when asked if the Senate would still confirm them:
“The question raised about them is an ongoing issue.
“So, once the Senate is satisfied, definitely, if we need to invite them to the chamber for the re-confirmation and re-screening, then we’ll do that.
“If security is not satisfied, the Senate cannot be satisfied. It depends on what security agencies and the person that nominates them say.”
On Monday, the Senate approved and confirmed 45 ministerial nominees of President Bola Tinubu after a voice vote.
However, the lawmakers withheld the ministerial confirmation of El-Rufai and two others pending “security clearance”.
