The Lagos state House of Assembly has 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.
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 an 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 always to remember that they are in office to serve the people of the state and not individuals.
The confirmation was done through a voice vote, as Dr. Obasa mentioned the name of each of the nominees.
