President Muhammadu Buhari has released the long-awaited ministerial list.

The list has now been forwarded to the National Assembly for approval, Daily Independent is reporting.

It quoted presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, who has promised that the list will be uploaded online for everybody to read before the end of Tuesday, July 2.

Some names said to have been considered, in Plateau state, are Mr. Solomon Dalung, immediate past minister of youth and sports.

From Kebbi state, it was gathered that Mr. Abubakar Malami, immediate past attorney general of the federation and minister of justice, who is one of the five members of the kitchen cabinet of the president, is likely to be re-appointed back.

There were hints that President Buhari may retain Mr. Hadi Sirika, the immediate past minister of state for aviation, who is from his home state of Katsina.

Also, Adamawa state’s representative in the last cabinet and immediate past minister of the FCT, Mr. Mohammed Musa Bello, may make the list, as the factors that necessitated his appointment earlier have not changed.

The two female ministers representing Kaduna and Sokoto states are believed to have got favourable consideration for the new cabinet.

There are similarities in the factors which necessitated the appointment of the FCT minister and the two female ministers.

Immediate past minister of Interior, Lieutenant General Abdulrahman Dambazau, from Kano state, who is a strong political associate of President Buhari, may also have made the list.
