The Edo State House of Assembly has confirmed the nominations of five members to the State Civil Service Commission.
The request was made on Oct 2, about two weeks after losing the state to opposition, All Progressives Congress (APC) in the September 21 governorship election.
The nominees are Lalla Aluyi, who will serve as Chairman, alongside Ehi Obaseki, Gilbert Adegboyega, Julie Olatunji, and Margaret Ohiowele as members.
The House Committee on Rules, Business and Government House, led by Majority Leader Charity Aiguobarueghian, cleared the nominees on Monday at plenary.
During the presentation of the screening report, the committee stated that the nominees possessed the necessary professional and educational qualifications for the role.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Gov. Godwin Obaseki had requested the House to screen and confirm the nominees in a letter dated 2 October, addressed to Speaker Blessing Agbebaku.
Following this, the House confirmed the nominees as Chairman and members of the commission through a voice vote.
Additionally, the House passed a bill to establish the Edo State Digital Government.
