The Governor of Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has submitted a second list of cabinet member-nominees to the State House of Assembly.
Sanwo-Olu transmitted the fresh list on Monday.
This comes weeks after the House rejected 17 out of the 39 nominees and confirmed 22 from the earlier list sent to it for ratification and confirmation.
The immediate past Commissioner for Health in the state, Prof. Akin Abayomi, who was among the 17 nominees rejected by the House, made the new list.
The ad hoc committee led by the Chief Whip, Fatai Mojeed, who screened the previous nominees, will also screen the new set of nominees, according to a statement posted to the House’s verified X handle on Monday.
“Governor’s Nominees for Commissioners: Speaker Obasa calls on the committee that handled the previous nominees to take charge on the new list sent by the Governor, @jidesanwoolu, and report back to the House by Thursday 7/09/2023.
“Some of the nominees have their documents with you, and you can reach out to the new nominees. I want you to be thorough and do the needful while carrying out this exercise,” the statement partly read.
The rejection of the 17 nominees by the House had raised dust among politicians and residents of the state.
