The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the governor had earlier written to the House seeking it to screen and confirm the nominees as members of the State Executive Council.
Their confirmation followed a motion by the Majority Leader, Lawan Hussaini, seconded by the Minority Leader, Usman Abubakar, which sought the approval of the House to screen the nominees.
Presenting the motion, Hussaini informed the House that the nominees had met the requirements for their appointment as members of the State Executive Council.
