The Lagos State House of Assembly
on Wednesday dropped 17 of the 39 commissioners and special advisers nominees
presented to it for screening by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The House only confirmed 22
cabinet nominees of the governor, meaning that all is not well between the
Assembly and Sanwo-Olu.
Notable among those dropped are
former Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso; former Health
Commissioner, Prof. Akin Abayomi; former Commissioner for Budget and Economic
Planning, Sam Egube, among others.
Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon.
Mudashiru Obasa, who presided over the day’s sitting, said the confirmation
followed rigorous and detailed screening of the nominees by a ad-hoc committee
led by the Chief Whip of the House, Hon. Fatai Mojeed.
He commended the committee for
its effectiveness and urged the 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 its best in the interest of the State.
