After the Political “higi haga”, Senate finally Screens Amaechi As Minister

Additionally screened by the Senate is Baba Shehuri Mustapha, who was in the House of Representatives, speaking to the Maiduguri Metropolitan Constituency. Mr Mustapha answered questions on enhancing local government administration in the Country..

Others set to be screened are  Ocholi Onojo James and Adewole Isaac Folorunsho.
