Keyamo was announced during the ongoing ministerial screening on the floor of the Senate by the Majority Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele on Friday.
Meanwhile, President Tinubu has removed Dr. Maryam Shetty from Kano State as a Ministerial nominee that is billed to be screened today.
In a letter to the Senate and read by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, the President replaced her with Mairiga Mahmoud.
Recall that President Tinubu had on Wednesday forwarded the name of Shetty along side eighteen other nominees, just as with Keyamo, the number of Ministerial Nominees has now got to forty eight.
The development has therefore brought the second batch of ministerial nominees to 20.
