President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has forwarded a fresh request to the Senate, seeking the confirmation of Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu Ude, SAN, from Enugu State, as a new Minister of the Federal Republic.

Ude is nominated to step in for Geoffrey Uche Nnaji, who recently stepped down as Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology.

The Senate is expected to screen and confirm the nominee in the coming days.
