SAN FRANCISCO, July 14, (THEWILL) – Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has forwarded a list of 25 names to the state House of Assembly for ratification as Commissioners and Special Advisers.
According to a statement by the Governor’s Deputy Chief Press Secretary, Mr Gboyega Akosile, Sanwo-Olu carefully picked the nominees based on their cognate experience in their respective professions.
He further disclosed that the new cabinet would be unique, because of its diversity. Quoting Governor Sanwo-Olu, he said Lagos would continue to take the lead in innovation, gender-balance and youth inclusion in the administration of the State.
On the list include Tunji Bello, a former Secretary to the State Government of the immediate past governor, and Commissioner for Environment to former Governor, Babatunde Fashola.
