DAILY LAW TIPS (Tip 385) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LLM. ACIArb(UK)

PERIOD WITHIN WHICH THE SENATE MUST SCREEN MINISTERIAL NOMINEES OR SUCH NOMINEES WILL BE DEEMED AS APPROVED MINISTERS IN NIGERIA.

The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria provides for the process of appointment and screening of ministers by the President and then the Senate, respectively. There cannot be a ministerial appointment by the President of Nigeria without the approval of the Senate.
However, the Senate must screen and communicate their approval or otherwise to the President within 21 working days from the date of receipt of the nomination list of the President. Where the Senate fails to send any response to the President within the 21 working days, the ministerial nominees on the list sent by the President, will be deemed as having been approved and appointed by the senate.
The essence of this rule is obvious, in democracy, there is need to ensure there is no deliberate delay or filibustering designed to frustrated any arm, in this case the executive arm.

My authorities are sections 147(2) and (6), 318 and 319 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.
