Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu Tuesday, sent the final list of his commissioner-nominees to the State House of Assembly.
Among the new nominees is a prominent pro-democracy activist, Engineer Joe Igbokwe. Igbokwe who hails from Anambra State is the current State Publicity Secretary of the ruling party. This is coming four weeks after the Governor sent the first batch of the list to the lawmakers for screening.
Thirteen Commissioner- and Special Adviser-designates made the second list, which had already been transmitted to the legislature.
A statement by the Deputy Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, said the second list had names of accomplished politicians and technocrats who “understand the current need of Lagos” and the development agenda of the Governor.
The Governor’s media aide said the selection process was rigorous, because of the need to constitute the best team that would serve Lagos in line with the Sanwo-Olu administration’s vision of delivering a city-state that will rank among the top most liveable cities in the world.
Below are names in the second batch:
- MR. OLADELE AJAYI
