The Assembly confirmed the nominee after the consideration of a report by the House selection committee presided over by the Speaker, Mr Olamide Oladij, during the plenary session of the Assembly.
The House had earlier conducted a screening exercise for the nominee at the Assembly complex before the plenary.
