The Senate has made public the Curriculum Vitae (CV) of Amina J Mohammed, one of the female ministerial nominees sent to the upper chamber by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Amina Mohammed (Kaduna state) is at the moment, been quizzed over a petition against her before the Senate committee on ethics, privileges and public petitions.

The Senate had on Thursday, October 8, asked its committee on ethics, privileges and public petition to consider all petitions against ministerial nominees before Tuesday’s screening.

Danjuma Lar representing Kaduna South senatorial district presented a petition to the Senate against the state nominee, saying her nomination was a violation of Section 147 of the 1999 Constitution.

Although she hails from Gombe state, she is reportedly representing Kaduna, her husband’s state.
