The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Taiwo Oyedele as Minister of State for Finance.

His confirmation comes after two hours of screening as lawmakers grilled him on various aspects of the economy.

Oyedele’s screening followed a motion moved by Opeyemi Bamidele, the Senate leader, after he called for the suspension of the Senate rule to allow strangers to come into the chamber.

During the screening, Oyedele proffered solutions to getting out of the various economic issues in the country.

Oyedele was escorted to the chamber by Bashir Lado, the Special Adviser to the President on the National Assembly ( Senate), alongside others.

His screening followed President Bola Tinubu’s letter to the Senate on Tuesday, requesting his confirmation as a minister.

Tinubu had, on March 3, nominated Oyedele, who currently serves as chairman of the presidential committee on fiscal policy and tax reforms, as Minister of State for Finance.
