Once the names of the nominees are submitted to the Senate, the appointees will undergo clearance before being inaugurated into President Tinubu’s cabinet.
However, history reminds us that not all politicians who have been nominated in the past ended up becoming ministers of the federal republic of Nigeria. Some notable cases include:
1. Ambassador Bayo Yusuf:
Nominated by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Ondo-born politician faced challenges during the Senate screening when he failed to provide the full meaning of Obasanjo’s NEEDS (National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy), the title of the then federal government’s economic policy document.

2. Udoma Udo Udoma:
Another nominee of President Obasanjo, the Akwa Ibom senator successfully passed the Senate screening. However, he declined the offer on the day of swearing-in when President Obasanjo assigned him a junior minister position as Minister of State for the Environment.
3. Bode Agusto:
Although nominated by former President Obasanjo, Agusto’s appointment was met with resistance from a majority of the Senators, particularly the Lagos representatives. The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) also rejected his nomination, stating that it did not align with the interests of the state chapter.
