The son of Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Lloyd Ekweremadu, is among the 15 commissioner nominees that Governor Mbah of Enugu State sent to the State House of Assembly on Friday for screening and confirmation.
The Commissioners’ list, as seen by MUK TV, also contains the name of ex-governor Sullivan’s daughter, Ada Chukwu.
Their nominations are contained in a list sent to the state House of Assembly by the state, which was read on the floor of the House by the Speaker, Uche Ugwu.
Also on the list, which was signed by the Secretary of State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, were a veteran broadcaster, Aka Eze Aka, Prof. Ndubueze Mba, Mrs. Ngozi Eni, Prof. Sam Ugwu, Chika Ugwoke, and Dr. Kingsley Ude.
Others are former commissioners Prof. Emmanuel Obi and Deacon Okey Ogbodo, as well as Mrs. Ugochi Madueke, Dr. Malachy Agbo, Gerrald Otiji, Nathaniel Ura, and Prince Lawrence Ezeh.
Onyia, in the letter, said this was not the complete list and appealed for their speedy consideration.
“While this may not be an exhaustive list, I’m optimistic that this request will receive your usual expeditious consideration,” he appealed.
