The Kogi State House of Assembly has approved two commissioner nominees sent to the house by the Governor of the State, Ahmed Usman Ododo.
The Assembly confirmed the commissioner nominees on Tuesday during the house plenary in Lokoja.
The Commissioner nominees confirmed include; Dr Adeniyi Helen Aderibigbe, (Ijumu) and Atuluku Levi Victor, from Omala State Constituency.
Speaking to journalists shortly after her confirmation on Tuesday, Aderibigbe promised to put in her best in realising the campaign promises of the present administration.
Aderibigbe reiterated her commitment to making Kogi State and Nigeria proud through hard work and diligence in her duties.
She stated, “As the name of my ministry implies innovation, so the first thing to be brought in is innovation. We will review what is on the ground. It is a new ministry, but is not a strange ministry.
“There has been precedent as it regards the ministry. We will study what is on the ground, take our review, and see areas where improvement has to be made. If there is a need for change, we will change. If there is a need for restructuring we will restructure.
“That is the innovation aspect of it, which will encourage the scientific approach to almost every issue that is on the ground. We will study every problem on the ground, and then we devise means of providing solutions for the problem. For us, this is the technological aspect of it. I want to see Kogi State that other State will be emulating in terms of technological improvement” she added.
The assembly also approved 50 special advisers to serve under the government of Kogi State.
