Governor Chukwuma Soludo has taken the next step in reshaping his cabinet, forwarding a list of 18 commissioner nominees to the Anambra State House of Assembly for confirmation.
The list was presented during Tuesday’s plenary, where Speaker Somtochukwu Udeze formally received it and passed it on to the Committee on Screening and Election Matters.
The panel is expected to review the nominees and report back to the House.
The proposed team covers a wide spread of portfolios, from agriculture and finance to health, education, and infrastructure.
Names on the list include Ben Odoemena for Agriculture, Chukwukadibia Okoye for Budget and Economic Planning, Udoji Amedu for Culture and Tourism, and Ekene Ogugua for Education.
Others pencilled down for key roles are Izuchukwu Okafor for Finance, Afam Obidike for Health, Law Mefor for Information, and Tobechukwu Nweke as Attorney-General.
The list also features portfolios such as power, transport, petroleum resources, youth development, and women affairs.
A few familiar faces are making a return. Commissioners like Afam Obidike, Law Mefor, and Patrick Agha who served in Soludo’s first term have been retained, suggesting a blend of continuity and fresh appointments.
With the nominations now before lawmakers, attention shifts to the screening process, which will determine who eventually makes it into the next cabinet
