The list, seen by our correspondent on Friday, was signed by the secretary to the state government, Prof Chidiebere Onyia.
They include Barr Lloyd I. Ekweremadu, son of former deputy Senate president Ike Ekweremadu. Versatile broadcaster Ala Eze Aka is among the nominees.
Onyia, while noting that the list was not yet completed, appealed for a speedy consideration.
“While this may not be the exhaustive list, I’m optimistic that this request will receive your usual expeditious consideration,” he said.
