Justin Beshel, Abigail Duke, Stephen Odey, Agnes Atsu and Lawrencia Ita, were confirmed alongside Ededem Ani, Mathias Unimke Angioha, Hipolatus Ogar Lukpata, Moses Osogi, Felix Idem as well as Ewa Robert Abubakar.
The confirmation was informed by the report of the House Committee on Judiciary, Public Service Matters, Public Petitions and Conflict Resolution presented to the House during plenary, by Davies Etta, Chairman of the committee.
Meanwhile, the House turned down the confirmation of Gladys Eutamdala, citing petitions written against her nomination by some persons from her native Yakurr LGA, over “…some critical issues of great public concern against her.” He however did not make public, the petitions.
