The Kogi State House of Assembly has approved two commissioner nominees sent to the House by the Governor of the State, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo.
The Assembly confirmed the commissioner nominees on Tuesday during the House plenary in Lokoja.
The commissioner nominees confirmed by the hallowed chamber include Dr Adeniyi Helen Aderibigbe (Ijumu) and Atuluku Levi Victor (Omala State Constituency).
Speaking to journalists shortly after she was confirmed on Tuesday, Dr Adeniyi Helen Aderibigbe promised to put in her best effort to realise the campaign promises of the present administration.
Aderibigbe reiterates her commitment to making Kogi State and Nigeria proud through her hard work and diligence in her duties.
“As the name of my ministry implies innovation, the first thing to be brought in is innovation. We will review what is on the ground. Actually, this is a new ministry, but it is not a strange one.
“There has been precedent as it regards the ministry. We will study what is on the ground, take our own review, and see areas where improvement has to be made. If there is a need for change, we will change. If there is a need for restructuring, we will restructure.
“That is the innovation aspect of it, which will encourage a scientific approach to almost every issue that is on the ground.
“We will study every problem on the ground, and then devise a means of providing a solution for the problem.
“For us, this is the technology aspect of it. I want to see Kogi State emulate other states in terms of technological improvement,” she added.
The Assembly also approved 50 special advisers to serve under the government of Kogi State.
It could be recalled that Kogi State Governor Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo had written to the House to confirm 50 special advisers to work in his cabinet.
