The Nigerian Senate will on Wednesday, unveil the second batch of the ministerial list from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
It was gathered that the list was submitted to the Senate on Tuesday by the Chief of staff to the President, Gbajabiamila.

The report also said the screening of the first 28 batch would be concluded today (Wednesday) to make way for the screening of those in the second batch expected to commence on Monday.
“By Wednesday, the new set of nominees will be unveiled, so that by Monday, we will be through with their screening.
