Nasarawa Gov Submits Eight Commissioner Nominees for Assembly Screening

Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has forwarded the names of eight commissioner nominees to the State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation as part of efforts to strengthen his administration in the closing phase of its tenure.

The nominations were announced on Wednesday by the Secretary to the State Government, Labaran Shuaibu Magaji (SAN), shortly after the State Executive Council meeting in Lafia. He explained that the appointments were aimed at filling vacancies created by the recent cabinet reshuffle and repositioning government for improved service delivery.

The latest development comes about two weeks after the governor approved a minor reshuffle that saw six commissioners relieved of their duties as part of plans to refocus the administration on delivering its remaining priorities before the end of its mandate.

Magaji said the nominees have been forwarded to the State Assembly for the constitutionally required screening and confirmation process before they can be sworn into office. He expressed confidence that the exercise would be concluded in line with due process.

The governor has continued to make adjustments to his cabinet in recent weeks, insisting the changes are intended to improve governance and ensure the administration delivers on its outstanding commitments to the people of Nasarawa State.
