Abia Assembly concludes screening, charges appointees; sets committee on Aba North council conflict

The Abia State House of Assembly has concluded the screening process of the Commissioner nominees, Abia State Civil Service Commission and Local service Commission with a charge to serve the State with every sense of diligence and selflessness.

Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Chinedum Orji who gave the charge during plenary today said the only person remaining is the Chairman of the Abia State Service Commission, Mrs. Elizabeth Esochaghi, whom was unavoidably absent due to health challenge.

He informed that whenever she recovers, that the House of Assembly will legitimately conduct same screening on her.
