Governor Okowa Sends Another Commissioner Nominee To State Assembly

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa on Wednesday forwarded to the Delta State House of Assembly the second Commissioner nominee after the sack of two earlier.

The Speaker, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori read the letter from the governor during plenary on Wednesday.
