The Nigerian Senate has screened 17 nominees forwarded by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for confirmation to lead three critical institutions in Rivers State — the Independent Electoral Commission, Civil Service Commission, and the Local Government Service Commission.
All nominees successfully passed security screenings and declared their assets in line with legal requirements. Notably, no petitions or objections were raised against any of the candidates during the process, indicating a smooth and controversy-free exercise.
The Senate Committee overseeing the screening is expected to submit its final report and recommendations during plenary in the coming days. Once confirmed, the appointees will be instrumental in strengthening administrative structures and governance in Rivers State, particularly in preparation for future local government elections and public service reforms.
