Less than 48 hours after dissolving the Benue State Executive Council, Governor Fr. Hyacinth Alia has forwarded the list of eight nominees to the State Assembly for confirmation as commissioners.
Those whose names are forwarded as contained in a press statement by the Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Sir Tersoo Kula, include Mrs. Theresa Odachi Ikwue; Dr. Benjamin Ashaver; Dr. Adamu Margaret Ijaguwa; Dr. Peter Oboh Egbodo; Dr. Yangien Timothy Ornguga; Mr. Denis Iyaighgba; Mr. James Dwem; and Dr. Paul Ejeh Ogwuche.
Four of the nominees are from the Benue South Senatorial District, while the other four are from the Benue North East and Benue North West Senatorial Districts, respectively.
According to Sir Kula, the “development marks a significant step in enhancement of the machinery of governance and ensuring effective service delivery across various sectors.”
He noted that the second batch of nominees is expected to be forwarded to the House of Assembly in a matter of days.
The statement also quoted the governor as reaffirming his administration’s commitment to transparency, competence, and inclusivity in the selection of individuals who will drive his vision and mission for the state.
