Edo Assembly Confirms Commissioner Nominee After Rejection by DSS

The Edo State Assembly confirmed Chris Okaeben as a commissioner nominee after rejecting him previously over Department of State Services (DSS) allegations. The Governor's request led to the re-screening and subsequent confirmation of Okaeben.

The process took nearly three months, with the Speaker of the House, Blessing Agbebaku, overseeing the confirmation. Umar Musa Ikhilor, the Secretary to the State Government, played a role in the communication between the Governor and the Assembly.
