The decision was announced by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Hyacinth Dajoh, following a thorough screening process.
During the hearing, held in the assembly chamber, Honourable Iyaghigba skillfully addressed a series of questions from lawmakers.
The nominee spoke on his early life, academic background, and his strategic vision for building a strong working relationship with the legislative arm of government.
Leveraging his extensive experience, Iyaghigba articulated the benefits his expertise in the marine, blue economy, and oil and gas sectors have brought and will still bring to the state’s development.
His convincing presentation and a strong track record of service ultimately secured his confirmation.
