President Bola Tinubu writes the Nigerian Senate seeking the screening and confirmation of Joseph Tegbe as a minister. Coverage from multiple outlets says the request is aimed at enabling the Senate to review Tegbe’s nomination through its usual screening process before confirmation.
The nominations are presented as part of Tinubu’s cabinet reshuffle. One report states that Tegbe is nominated for the Ministry of Power, while another identifies Sola Enikanolaiye as nominated for Foreign Affairs and that both are sent to the Senate for screening.
Several reports then state that the Senate completes the process and confirms the nominees. In particular, the Senate is reported to confirm Joseph Tegbe as Minister of Power. The Senate also confirms Sola Enikanolaiye for a Foreign Affairs portfolio, with outlet descriptions varying between Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs. The reporting indicates the confirmations follow Senate clearance after screening, allowing the nominees to assume their ministerial roles.
