Speaker Timothy Owoeye urged the nominees to submit 25 copies of their Curriculum Vitae to the Assembly not later than Friday, adding that screening would begin on Monday.
In a related development, Owoeye announced the setting up of an ad hoc committee of five lawmakers to consult with traditional rulers and victims of kidnapping in the state to fashion out how to curb the menace.
Owoeye said it was pertinent for the committee to move quickly into action given the recent upsurge in kidnappings in the state, saying the Assembly was equally working on a law to address the situation.
