The confirmation process, which was initially scheduled for an earlier date, culminated in a five-hour session where each nominee was thoroughly vetted.

The newly appointed ministers include Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi, Bianca Odinaka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Yusuf Abdullahi Ata, Idi Mukhtar Maiha, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, and Suwaiba Said Ahmed Ahmad.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio presided over the proceedings, expressing his hopes for the new ministers. "May God give the ministers the enablement to discharge their duties to the benefit of Nigerians," he remarked, underscoring the critical role these leaders will play in addressing the country's challenges.
