Tunji Wusu –
On Wednesday, August 23, the Lagos State House of Assembly rejected 17 of the 39 commissioner and special adviser nominees that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had submitted for consideration.
However, 22 of the 39 nominations were approved by the state parliamentarians present at the plenary.
Former health commissioner Prof. Akin Abayomi, former commissioner for information and strategy Gbenga Omotoso, and former commissioner for budget and economic planning Sam Egube are notable examples of people who were let go.
