“We thank the Kaduna State House of Assembly for prompt confirmation and scrutinisation of our commissioners. We note that the House was unable to confirm one of our nominees and we will shortly be proposing a replacement. “I think they did the right thing, because it is their job to check whatever we are doing. No one is perfect, we can never always get it right. That is why our partnership with the state house of assembly is a healthy one. And we support every decision they take,” he explained.
