After 10 minutes of screening, Bello Hassan Balogun, the majority leader representing Ajaokuta State Constituency, moved a motion that Justice Olusiyi and Justice Olowosegun be asked to take a bow.

His motion was seconded by the member representing Igalamela Odolu Constituency, Barr. Cosmos Ataborn in view of their track records in the administration of justice in the state.

The Speaker, who announced the confirmation, directed the clerk to inform the governor of the confirmation.

Hon Justice Henry Adebola Olusiyi hails from Igbaruku-Okeri in Yagba West Local Government Area Kogi State.

Meanwhile, the house has sworn in Hon. Atule Egbunu which won the recent bye election as the lawmaker representing Ibaji State Constituency after the demise of late Hon. John Abah.
