By Nafisat Bello
Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has sent the names of three Commissioners-designate to the State House of Assembly for screening.
The nominees are the Former Commissioner for Information and Communications, Hon. Kingsley Femi Fanwo, from Mopa Muro LGA, Dr Zakeri Usman (Dekina LGA) and Engr. Mohammed Ihiezue Abdulmutalab (Okene LGA).

The three appointments are meant to replace commissioners who earlier resigned from the cabinet to contest for various elective positions.
“Recall that three commissioners in pursuit of their political aspirations resigned from the state cabinet in May in line with section 84(12) of the amended Electoral Act, 2022,” a statement by the governor’s spokesman, Onogwu Muhammed, read in part.
Fanwo had during the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries contested for the party’s ticket for a seat at the House of Representatives but lost out narrowly.
