The Senate is set to screen and confirm the Minister of Defence nominee General Christopher Musa.
This followed the reading of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s letter nominating the General Musa for the position of the Minister of Defence, by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during plenary.
Akpabio said the screening would be done immediately.
The Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele has moved a motion to suspend relevant rules of the Senate on floor privileges to allow the nominee, the Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters, Senator Basheer Lado and other Ministry of Defence officials and other military officers in the entourage of the nominee.
He also said that the main screening would be done behind closed doors immediately after introductory remarks by the nominee.
