The Governor had, on March 16, sent the names of the nominees to the assembly for confirmation.
The commissioner nominees include Dr Doris Uzoka-Anike, Dr Bartholomew Okorochukwu, Prof. Boniface Nwogu and Mr Uche Ohia.
Following the development, the Assembly on Wednesday confirmed the nominees, after the consideration of the report of the ad-hoc screening committee.
The ad-hoc committee, chaired by Mr Johnson Duru (APC-Ideato South), in its report, said the nominees were qualified and should be confirmed.
NAN reports that the lawmakers also expressed satisfaction with the qualifications of the commissioner-designates.
