10th July, 2023 

Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State has sent a list of commissioner nominees to the state’s House of Assembly for screening.

The speaker of the House of Assembly, John Kizito Bonzina who admitted that the list of nominees has been submitted to the House by the governor, said screening will soon commence.

The list reportedly includes Professor Nicholas Oliver Namessan, George Peter, Gideon Samuel Nonso, Augustina Godwin, Naomi Tanko Agbu, Aishat Abulazzez, Sarah Enoch Adi, Joseph Titus Nagombe, Bodia Gbansheya, Zainab Usman Jalingo.

Others are, Yakubu Maikasuwa, Habu James Philip, Usman Muslim Abdullahi, Saviour Badrolling Noku, Philistar Ibrahim Musa, Yakubu S. Yakubu, Mary Sinjen, Daniel Ishaya, Noseh Luka and Joseph Joshua
