The Nigeria Senate on Wednesday confirmed another set of 10 ministerial nominees, bringing the total number to 24 out of the 34 names forwarded for the screening and confirmation by President Goodluck Jonathan to the Senate.
The Senate last week confirmed the nomination of 14, remaining 10 nominees to pass through the process.
Those confirmed on Wednesday were Professor Barth Nnaji; Mr Olusegun Aganga; Dr Bello Haliru Mohammed; Comrade Abba Moro; Dr Samuel Ioraer Ortom; Professor Viola Onwuliri; Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; Professor Ita Okon Bassey Ewa; Senator ldris Umar and Mrs Olusola Obada.
However, out of those confirmed, the Senate allowed four of them to bow and go contrary to its earlier stand. Those accorded such a priviledge were Dr Bello Mohammed, acting chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), as a mark of respect for his position; Comrade Abba Moro, the Director-General of the Senate President David Mark Re-nomination Campaign Organisation; Dr Samuel Ioraer Ortom, the Internal Auditor of the PDP and the immediate past, Senator ldris Umar.
