- Hon. Elizabeth Onma Ogenyi
- Hon. Solomon Iorpev

Governor Alia said the nominations were made in exercise of his constitutional powers under Section 192 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.
He consequently asked the House of Assembly to give the nominees prompt and favourable consideration in line with its constitutional responsibility.
The governor said the move was intended to inject additional expertise and capacity into his administration and strengthen the machinery of government for effective service delivery across the state.
The submission comes as the Alia administration continues efforts to consolidate its cabinet and fill vacancies within the State Executive Council.
