The Taraba State House of Assembly has cleared Governor Agbu Kefas’ 21 commissioner-nominees for appointment as members of the state’s Executive Council.

Nelson Len, the chairman of the House Committee on Information, addressed the press in Jalingo on Wednesday following the legislature’s plenary. 

He announced that all the nominees had successfully passed the rigorous screening process conducted by the house and were cleared for their respective positions.
