The former boss of NEXIM bank and ministerial nominee from Delta State, Stella Oketete, has been refused screening by the Senate for alleged forgery.
Oketete was enlisted among two other nominees, Arch. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa of Katsina State and Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji of Enugu State, whose credentials were being questioned by the red chambers.
Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has noted that the special cases bordering on forgery and other illegalities would be addressed at the confirmation stage.
Meanwhile, the major highlight of the ministerial screening on Monday, July 31, was the session of ex-Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, who said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not regret nominating him.
