March 29, (THEWILL) – Anambra State governor, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has submitted a list of 20 Commissioner-nominees including three professors to the state House of Assembly for approval.
Speaker of the House, Mr Uche Okafor, announced this at Tuesday’s plenary, while reading a letter from Soludo, dated March 28.
Okafor said the governor also sent another letter requesting the confirmation of 15 Special Advisers.
The Speaker, however, asked the House Committee on Screening to screen the commissioner-nominees.
The majority leader moved a motion for the confirmation of the 15 special advisers and they were approved after a voice vote.
The commissioner nominees were Mr Ifeatu Chinedu, Professor Ofonze Amucheazi, Mr Ifeanyi Okoma, Ms Chiamaka Nnake, Dr Afam Obidike, Mr Patrick Aghamba, Mrs Ifeyinwa Obinabo, Dr Obinna Ugonnadi, Mr Julius Chukwuemeka and Professor Ngozi Chuma-Udeh.
Others included Mr Paul Nwosu, Dr Foster Ihejiofor, Mrs Patricia Igwebuike, Mr Felix Odimegwu, Mr Chikodi Anara, Professor Chika Ifemeje, Mr Collins Nwabunwanne, Mr Donatus Onyeji, Mr Anthony Ifeanyi and Mr Paulinus Onyeaka.
Also at plenary, the House read a resolution, urging Soludo to appeal to the Commissioner of Police in the state to return checkpoints and patrol teams across the state.
The House resolution followed a motion raised by Hon. Onyebuchi Offor, representing Ekwusigo Constituency, (PDP).
According to Offor, absence of the checkpoints in the state has increased insecurity, which is causing serious threats to lives and property in the state.
