According to Punch, the list of ministers to be appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari is ready.
The Senate may get a letter from the President requesting the confirmation of the nominees on Tuesday or Wednesday.
It will be recalled that Buhari who was inaugurated as President on May 29 had promised to name members of his cabinet in September.
He had at different times said he was in search of Nigerians with integrity to be part of his team that would reposition the country.
There has been anxiety that the President may not be able to meet the September deadline as he was quoted recently as saying that the month was running to an end too fast for his liking.
Indications have however emerged that Buhari, who is currently attending the 70th United Nations General Assembly in New York, had concluded work on the list.
Punch reports that the list may be presented to the Senate before October 1.
While reacting to an online report that Buhari had sent one of his National Assembly Liaison Officers, Senator Ita Enang, back to Nigeria with the list meant for the Senate, presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, told reporters in New York on Monday that he would not be surprised if the list was ready.
