President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday nominated Professor Stephen Ikani Ocheni (Kogi State) and Suleiman Hassan (Gombe) for consideration as Ministers.
Senate President Bukola Saraki read Buhari’s letter on the nomination at plenary on Wednesday.

Ocheni is to replace Barrister James Ocholi (Minister of State for Labour and Employment) who died in a ghastly motor accident along Kaduna-Abuja road in 2016.
On the other hand, Hassan will replace Mrs. Amina Mohammed, the former Minister for Environment who is now the Deputy Secretary General of United Nations.
