The House of Representatives has made significant strides by advancing a bill that mandates the inclusion of specific portfolios in the nomination lists for Ministers and Commissioners submitted by the president and state governors.
The legislation has successfully moved to its second reading, highlighting its potential impact on the governance process.
Leading the discussion, Representative Okechukwu Dibiagwu articulated the necessity of attaching portfolios to ministerial nominations. He argued that this requirement would empower lawmakers in both the national and state assemblies to perform more thorough and targeted scrutiny during the confirmation processes.
