The Edo State House of Assembly has approved the nominees put forth by Governor Godwin Obaseki for the State Civil Service Commission.

The lawmakers ratified the five-member nominees during a plenary session held on Monday.
The nominees were presented at the House’s plenary on October 2, 2024, by the Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku.

The nominees who received confirmation include Iguodala Lalla Aluyi as chairman, along with members Ehi Obaseki, Gilbert Adegboyega, Julie Olatunji, and Margaret Ohiowele.
In addition, the House has enacted a bill to create the Edo State Digital Governance and Data Management Agency.
