President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday urged the Senate to consider and confirm the nomination of Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu Ude, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), from Enugu State, as a Minister.
The President’s request was contained in a letter read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, during plenary.
The letter reads in part: “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. Kingsley Tochukwu-Ude, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, 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.”
After reading the letter Akpabio referred the request to the Committee of the Whole for further legislative work.
