The Enugu State House of Assembly on Tuesday confirmed 24 commissioner nominees forwarded to the assembly by Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
Screening the nominees during plenary, they were asked questions on their courses of study, profession, experience and on how they would contribute to reposition Enugu State.
The screening which lasted for over five hours featured two former members of the House of Representatives, Princess Peace Nnaji and Chief Chijioke Edeoga, who were asked to take a bow and leave.
After the screening, the Leader of the house, Mr Ikechukwu Ezeugwu (PDP-Udenu), said: “having answered most of the questions correctly, attempted some and with their experiences, levels of education, contributions to our party, their community and the state, when confirmed, they will do us proud.
“Mr speaker, honourable colleagues, l hereby move that the commissioner-nominees be confirmed,’’ he said.
Ruling, the Speaker, Chief Edward Ubosi, directed the Clerk, Mr Christopher Chkwurah, to communicate the governor of the confirmation of the nominees. (NAN)
