President Bola Tinubu has formally requested the Senate to screen and confirm Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu Ude, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) from Enugu State, for appointment as a Minister of the Federal Republic.
The announcement was made during Tuesday’s plenary session, where Senate President Godswill Akpabio read the President’s letter on the Senate floor.
Following the reading, Senator Akpabio referred the nomination to the Senate Committee of the Whole for detailed consideration and screening, as stipulated by legislative procedures.
Dr. Ude, a highly regarded legal expert and the current Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice of Enugu State, is set to undergo the constitutionally mandated screening process in the coming days.
