From Joseph Uchenna, in Makurdi
The Benue State House of Assembly has outrightly rejected two Commissioner-nominees submitted by Governor Hyacinth Alia while confirming six.
The assembly during its plenary on Wednesday rejected the nominations of Dr. Yangien Ornguga and Mr. James Dwen, based on petitions against them to which they failed to provide satisfactory responses.
The House subsequently urged the Governor to nominate two alternative candidates to replace them.
Meanwhile, those confirmed included Hon. Theresa Odachi Ikwue, Hon. Dr. Benjamin Ashaver, Hon. Dr. Adamu Margaret Ijaguwa, Hon. Dr. Peter Oboh Egbodo, Hon. Denis Iyaighgba and Dr. Paul Ejeh Ogwuche.
The Speaker commended the Honourable members for their diligent work and urged the nominees confirmed to diligently serve the people of Benue.
