He said they are expected to produce 40 sets of their curriculum vitae (CV), photocopies as well as original copies of their credentials to the State House of Assembly, Legislative Quarters (venue for the screening).
The commissioners resigned their appointments on December 16, 2023, a gale of resignations following the escalation of political crisis between Governor Fubara and his godfather predecessor, Wike. The reinstatement of the former commissioners who resigned their appointments formed part of the demands of President Tinubu’s peace agreement with the Governor Fubara. (NAN)
