The nominees are Dr. Bunmi Omoseyindemi from Lagos, Dr. Anugbum Onuoha from Rivers and Isma’ila Kaura Moyi from Zamfara.
Their confirmation was announced by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
The seven nominees who were confirmed on Wednesday are: Etekamba Umoren from Akwa Ibom; Isha Ehimeakne from Edo; Barrister Oluwatoyin Babalola from Ekiti; Abubakar Ahmed (Gombe); Shehu Wahab – Kwara; Aminu Idris – Nasarawa; Mohammed Abubakar Sadiq – Niger.
