- Ministerial List: Buhari Forwards 43 Names to Senate
President Buhari has finally forwarded ministerial nominees to the National Assembly for confirmation, the Senate President, Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan, Said on Tuesday.
This is coming two months after President Buhari was sworn-in and five months after he was re-elected.
Investors and businesses have blamed the delay in cabinet formation for the current bearish trend in the Nigerian Stock Exchange, the exchange year-to-date loss stood at over 11 percent despite the arrival of MTN Nigeria and Airtel Africa.
Traders are standing aside as they a worried that a new economic team may disrupt market rhythm with a new economic policy, hence they are reluctant to jump the gun without a clear economic path.
However, the Senate is likely to confirm the 43 names before embarking on two months break at the end of the week or further delay we worsen market confidence.
