The two-day warning strike embarked on Tuesday by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has forced the Gombe State House of Assembly to postpone the screening of 17 commissioner nominees appointed by Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya.
The Assembly had earlier slated Tuesday to begin the screening five weeks after the governor forwarded the list of the nominees.
The Speaker, Abubakar Mohammed Lugerewo, said in a statement on Tuesday that the assembly had postponed its sitting to screen the nominees to Thursday and Friday, respectively due to the strike.
