The Senate on Wednesday confirmed the nominations of Prof.
Chinedu Nebo and Kabiru Taminu Turaki as ministers of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria after subjecting them to a screening session of questions and answers.
Both nominees in their separate
sessions on the floor of the Senate, spoke on issues bordering on security,
power, education and politics.
Nebo from Enugu State, who was former
Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, while speaking on the
challenges in the power sector, said “uninterrupted power supply is not a
mirage.”
He noted that with the unbundling of
the Power Holding Company, there were a lot of opportunities for improvements
in the power sector.
