Politics Nigeria recalls that Keyamo was the minister of labour and employment during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
During his latest ministerial screening, there was uproar in the Senate, a situation that led to an executive session in the red chamber.
Senator Darlington Nwokocha of the Labour Party representing Abia central senatorial district had raised a point of order alleging Keyamo blocked the House of Representatives Committee from carrying out its oversight function on the sum of N52 billion released to his ministry.
Having explained this, he moved that the screening of Keyamo be stepped down in line with parliamentary rules.
However, Keyamo later apologized to the Senate.
