Lagos Gov swears in commissioners, special advisers

Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has sworn in new commissioners and special advisers that will join him to administer the affairs of the state.

The swearing-in ceremony took place on Wednesday at the Adeyemi Bero Auditorium, Ikeja, the Lagos state capital.

Governor Sanwo-Olu commended the state House of Assembly for the job well done during the screening exercise of the nominees, which lasted for about four weeks.

He also asked the new cabinet members to put in their best and ensure their work reflected excellence at all times by carrying the people along.

The Governor assigned portfolios to 23 commissioners and 14 special advisers.

Before this time, the Lagos House of Assembly had rejected 17 out of 39 commissioner-nominees recommended for screening and confirmation by Sanwo-Olu.

The governor sent another list of 18 nominees to the assembly, out of which 15 were cleared.
