Ondo Assembly Confirms 18 Commissioners

The Ondo State House of Assembly has confirmed all the 18 commissioner-nominees forwarded to it last week by the state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu.

The commissioners were screened behind closed doors last week in batches by a committee of the house headed by the Deputy Speaker, Odundeji Iroju.

While presenting the report of the committee on Tuesday at plenary, Mr Iroju said all the nominees were fit to take the appointments.
