SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, (THEWILL) – The Presidency has confirmed that two ministers who are to be Kogi and Gombe states representatives in the Federal Executive Council, FEC would be sworn in on Wednesday.
THEWILL recalls that the Senate had in April screened and confirmed Stephen Ocheni and Suleiman Hassan as ministers, following their nomination by President Muhammadu Buhari the previous month.
The information on the inauguration of the ministers was provided by three presidential spokespersons, Femi Adesina, Garba Shehu and Laolu Akande at a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday.
“The Federal Government has also not approved the disbursement of 850 million dollars in the 2017 budget for payment of the so-called external contract debt.
“We are therefore using this medium to inform Nigerians and foreigners alike to disregard such letters,” he said.
The minister maintained that “Sagay and all the members of his committee are men and women of proven integrity.’’
He added that they would never allow the committee to be used for any activity outside its mandate or that was capable of weakening the anti-corruption fight of the administration.
