Imo Assembly confirms appointment of Gov. Ihedioha’s first Commissioner, Ndukwe Nnawuchi

The Imo State House of Assembly has confirmed the appointment of Ndukwe Nnawuchi (SAN) as the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.

Nnawuchi was confirmed by the house at its plenary on Friday.

The House unanimously adopted the report of Hon Ken Agbim committee which screened the nominee and declared him worthy of appointment.

While confirming the nomination, the Speaker, Chinedu Offor, said the committee found the nominee worthy of the appointment.

The Imo Assembly also ordered the reinstatement of the former Provost of the College of Nursing and Midwifery, Orlu, Ngozi Duru.

Duru was sacked in 2017 by former governor Rochas Okorocha.

The speaker, while adopting the report of the public petition committee, described her sack as the worst incident of gross abuse of power and injustice and urged the Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, to consider reinstating her to the position.
