The Lagos State House of Assembly on Wednesday rejected the re-election of six former commissioners appointed by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for selection.
Former commissioners include Gbenga Omotoso (Information and Strategy), Akin Abayomi (Health) and Sam Egube (Economic Planning and Budget).
Others are Cecilia Dada (Women’s Issues and Poverty Alleviation), Olalere Odusote (Energy Resources) Folashade Adefisayo (Education).
The commissioners are among the 17 rejected nominees, according to a statement from the chamber’s information officer, Bisola Branco-Adekoya, sent to Newslodge.
More than 50 percent of those rejected worked with the governor in his first administration.
Aramide Adeyoye (special adviser on works and infrastructure), Sholape Hammond (special adviser on SDGs), Rotimi Fashola (permanent secretary on agriculture) and others failed to be confirmed by the Chamber.
Of the 39 commissioner candidates sent to the House by the governor, 22 were confirmed by the legislative branch.
Tokunbo Wahab, a former special adviser on education, and Dolapo Fasawe, director general of the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, are among those on the list.
“House Speaker, Honorable Mudashiru Obasa route“The confirmation came after a rigorous and detailed evaluation of the nominees by an ad hoc committee led by the head of the House, Fatai Mojeed,” the statement read.
“He praised the committee for its effectiveness and urged confirmed nominees to always remember that they are in office to serve the people of the State and not individuals.
“He also promised that the House would continue to do the best it could in the interest of the State.
“Confirmation was done by voice voting when Dr. Obasa mentioned the name of each of the nominees.”
