Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has forwarded the names of eight commissioner nominees to the State House of Assembly for confirmation as part of efforts to strengthen his administration for the remainder of his tenure.

The appointments were announced on Wednesday during plenary by the Speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Danladi Jatau, who read the governor’s letter before lawmakers in Lafia.

The nominees are Muhammad Habeeb Nagogo (Wamba Local Government Area), Ahmed Yakubu Mohammed (Lafia LGA), Hon. Mohammed Baba Shehu (Keffi LGA), Hon. Mohammed Iyimoga Oyigye (Obi LGA), Adamu Rabecca Kpadji (Wamba LGA), Nawani Aboki (Doma LGA), Jibril Abdullahi Ibrahim, FCNA (Nasarawa LGA), and Ashefo Daniel Paul (Lafia LGA).

The Speaker directed the Clerk of the House to notify the nominees to submit 30 copies of their curriculum vitae ahead of their screening and confirmation exercise scheduled for Friday, August 7, 2026.

The appointments come weeks after the Nasarawa State Government carried out a minor cabinet reshuffle involving six commissioners as part of efforts to reposition the administration for the effective delivery of its remaining agenda.

The reshuffle, announced on July 22 by the Secretary to the State Government, Labaran Shuaibu Magaji (SAN), required six commissioners to step aside.

The affected ministries included Works, Women Affairs, Information, Lands, Science and Technology, and Security and Other Sundry Matters.
