President Bola Tinubu has written to the Senate requesting Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu Ude, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) from Enugu State,’s appointment as a minister.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio read the letter expressing the President’s request during Tuesday’s plenary.
Senator Akpabio sent the nomination to the Committee of the Whole for further consideration and evaluation after making the announcement.
Uche Nnaji, the former minister of innovation, science, and technology, resigned from Tinubu’s government, according to the news.

Nnaji, who was the Tinubu administration’s only minister, resigned last month over a controversy involving his certificate, which was claimed to have been obtained from the University of Nigeria Nsukka, Enugu State, and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate.
His resignation left Enugu State without a minister and created a vacuum in President Tinubu’s administration.
