President Bola Tinubu has requested the Senate’s confirmation of Dr Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh, SAN, for appointment as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The president’s request was contained in a letter addressed to the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, and read during Tuesday’s plenary session.

Dr Udeh, currently serving as the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Enugu State, was described by Tinubu as a nominee of “proven integrity and competence.”

In the letter, Tinubu wrote: “I am pleased to forward to the Senate the nomination of Dr Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), for confirmation as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“While I trust that this request will receive the Senate’s usual expeditious consideration, please accept, Mr Senate President and distinguished senators, the assurances of my highest regards.”

Following the reading of the letter, Senate President Akpabio referred the request to the Committee of the Whole for immediate consideration.
