Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo forwards a list of 18 commissioner nominees to the Anambra State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation. Multiple outlets report that the submission is made to the legislature as the next step in the appointments process for the state executive. Premium Times also notes the timing, stating that the nominations come about seven weeks after Soludo is sworn in for a second term on 17 March. In addition, one report says Soludo removes the proposed Anambra sports commission from the commissioner-nominees list, indicating the sports commission is scrapped in the same set of appointments forwarded to lawmakers. The House of Assembly is expected to screen the nominees and proceed with confirmation according to its processes. Across the reports, the consistent points are that the governor submits 18 names for legislative review, that the submission is for screening and confirmation, and that it occurs shortly after the start of Soludo’s second term.
