In a letter read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during Wednesday’s plenary session, the nomination was in accordance with the provisions of Section 147(2) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
The letter read: “In compliance with the provisions of section 147(2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, I am pleased to forward to the Senate the nomination of Dr Bernard Mohammed Doro for confirmation as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“While I hope that this request will receive the usual expeditious consideration of the Senate, please accept, distinguished Senate President and distinguished senators, the assurances of my highest regards.”
Following the reading of the letter, Senate President Akpabio referred the nomination to the Committee of the Whole for further legislative consideration.
