Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State has sent a list of eight new commissioner nominees to the Benue State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation.
The Governor had on Wednesday dissolved his cabinet and sacked his Chief of Staff in what political pundits in the state believe is a step aimed at accommodating divergent political camps in the state.
In a statement signed by the spokesman of the governor, Tersoo Kula, the “development marks a significant step in enhancement of the machinery of governance and ensuring effective service delivery across various sectors.
The statement also revealed that a “second batch of nominees is expected to be forwarded to the House of Assembly in a matter of days”.
The eight nominees are:
Hon. Theresa Odachi Ikwue
Hon. Dr. Benjamin Ashaver
Hon. Dr. Adamu Margaret Ijaguwa
Hon. Dr. Peter Oboh Egbodo
Dr. Yangien Timothy Ornguga
Hon. Denis Iyaighgba
Hon. James Dwem
Dr. Paul Ejeh Ogwuche
