Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has congratulated Prince Lateef Fagbemi SAN on his nomination as a Minister of the Federal Republic.

The governor in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, said the nomination speaks to Fagbemi’s commitment to excellence, integrity, and personal accomplishments as a topflight private prosecutor of many decades standing.

“His Excellency heartily welcomes the nomination. He thanks the President for the honour done to the senior lawyer with a rich progressive pedigree,” the statement added.

“The Governor looks forward to working closely with the learned silk as he joins the Federal Executive Council as a representative of the good people of Kwara State. He is convinced that Fagbemi’s representation will not only serve the #RenewedHope Agenda of Mr. President, but he will also add immense values to the people of Kwara State in uniquely positive ways.

“He prays Almighty Allah, exalted is He, to guide the President, the learned silk and other member-nominees of the Federal Executive Council as the government fully gets down to the business of making Nigeria greater.”

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu earlier on Thursday rolled out the highly anticipated ministerial list.

The list includes ex-Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai and ex-Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike.

The list was contained in a letter read by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, at the plenary on Thursday.

According to the constitution, the President has a 60-day window to appoint ministers from the day of he was sworn in.
