Anambra: Soludo Submits 20 Nominees For Commissioners

Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State  has submitted a list of 20 nominees as commissioners to the state House of Assembly for approval.

The Speaker of the House, Mr Uche Okafor, announced this at  Tuesday’s plenary while reading a letter from  Soludo,  dated March 28.

Okafor said that besides the nominees for commissioners in Anambra that Governor Soludo also sent another letter requesting the confirmation of 15 Special Adviser nominees.

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.

Some of the nominees presented by Governor Soludo to the Anambra House of Assembly as commissioners were Mr Ifeatu Chinedu, Prof. Ofonze Amucheazi, Mr Ifeanyi Okoma, Ms Chiamaka Nnake, Dr Afam Obidike, Mr Patrick Aghamba, Mrs Ifeyinwa Obinabo, Dr Obinna Ugonnadi, Mr Julius Chukwuemeka and Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh.

Others included Mr Paul Nwosu, Dr Foster Ihejiofor, Mrs Patricia Igwebuike, Mr Felix Odimegwu, Mr Chikodi Anara, Prof. Chika Ifemeje, Mr Collins Nwabunwanne, Mr Donatus Onyeji, Mr Anthony Ifeanya 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 Mr 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. (NAN)
