There was a mild drama at the plenary of the Abia State House of Assembly yesterday, as three out of six commissioner nominees sent for confirmation by Abia Governor ALEX OTTIwere questioned about their credentials.
This followed an observation presented to the House by the member representing Obingwa-West state constituency, ERONDU ERONDUJr., who frowned at why commissioner nominees would appear for screening without their complete credentials.
The lawmaker wondered why the commissioner nominees couldn’t provide a single paper, including First School Leaving Certificate (FSLC), West African Secondary School Certificate (WASSC), tax clearance certificate, birth certificate or age declaration, among others, to back up their claims in their Curriculum Vitae.”
He urged the House to critically look into the anomaly to forestall further recurrences
Out of the six commissioner nominees sent to the Abia State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation by the state governor, only two, UBOCHI CHINEDU and OGBONNAYA UCHE, were confirmed after the screening by the House, while the confirmation of the other nominees was suspended pending when they submit their credentials to the clerk of the House.
