President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially submitted the nomination of Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh, SAN, for confirmation as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The request was conveyed in a letter to Senate President Godswill Akpabio and read during Tuesday’s plenary session.
Dr. Udeh currently serves as Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Enugu State. President Tinubu described him as a nominee of “proven integrity and competence.”
In the letter, the President 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 nomination to the Committee of the Whole for immediate consideration.
Dr. Udeh, a respected legal scholar and advocate, is expected to contribute his extensive experience in law and public administration to the federal cabinet if confirmed.
