The Senate has confirmed Muttaqha Rabe Darma as the Minister of Housing and Urban Development.
The confirmation of Darma was a sequel to the screening session, with questions and answers.
President Bola Tinubu had formally requested the screening and subsequent confirmation in a letter read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Wednesday
Akpabio thereafter referred it to the Committee of the Whole for further legislative action, with a directive to report back as soon as practicable.
Darma, a trained engineer, holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Bayero University Kano and is expected to bring technical expertise to the Housing and Urban Development Ministry, a sector central to addressing Nigeria’s widening housing deficit and urban infrastructure gaps.
