The much-anticipated list of ministerial nominees is still in the Presidential Villa and has not been forwarded to the National Assembly, Naija News reports.
Several reports have claimed that the ministerial list had been sent to the National Assembly last week and will be announced by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio this week.
However, according to TheCable, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has cleared his activities for Tuesday, July 25 and Wednesday, July 26, to review and finalise the ministerial list.
The report stated that the president does not want to be disturbed, hence, he will not be receiving visitors for the next two days.
A presidency official told TheCable that even though most of the nominations are settled, there are states posing a challenge because of the candidates.
The source stated that many of the associates of the president are in the dark about the final list, stressing that he keeps most of his decisions to himself till the last point.
