Full List Of Governor Sanwo-Olu’s Cabinet Nominees has emerged.

 

Newsonline Nigeria reports that the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had earlier today (Friday) sent a list of his cabinet nominees to the Lagos State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation. 

 

This is coming barely 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu submitted a list of 28 ministerial nominees to the Senate for screening and confirmation. 

 

According to a tweet post on his official Twitter account on Friday, July 28, 2023, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor,  Gboyega Akosile, said the list contains 39 names with 30% women, while others are youths, technocrats, and politicians. 

Some old names dropped 

Some members of the governor’s cabinet during his first term in office made the list, while a number of others did not. 

Among former cabinet members who made the list are former Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Gbenga Omotoso; his Budget and Economic Planning counterpart, Mr Sam Egube; ex-Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi; ex-Special Adviser to the Governor on Works and Infrastructure, Aramide Adeyooye; and his Education counterpart, Tokunbo Wahab. 

 

Among former cabinet members dropped by Governor Sanwo-Olu are former Commissioner of Finance, Rabiu Olowo; former Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General of the state, Moyosore Onigbanjo, SAN; and ex- Commissioner for Wealth Creation, Yetunde Arobieke.
