It would be recalled that, during Bianca’s screening she drew significant attention on the Senate floor. Her presence sparked a lively reaction, leading the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio to interject, reminding his fellow Legislators to focus on Ojukwu’s qualifications rather than her appearance.
However, it is worthy to note that the nominees underwent thorough screening, which concluded with their confirmation on Friday, November 2, 2024.
The newly sworn Ministers have now officially assumed their roles as key contributors to the cabinet’s ongoing efforts toward national development.
