The brief swearing-in ceremony, which was conducted in two batches of four each, was anchored by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, who read their citations.
They include Dr. Emanso Okop (Akwa-Ibom); Obi Vitalis (Anambra); Mahmood Fatima (Bauchi); and Danjuma Sanusi (Jigawa).
Others are Olusanya Olubunmi (Ondo); Dr. Keshinro Ismaila (Zamfara); Akujobi Ijeoma (South-East); and Isokpunwu Osaruwanmwen (South-South).
