Lagos Assembly Rejects 17 of Sanwo-Olu’s Cabinet Nominees, Confirms 22

On Wednesday, the Lagos State House of Assembly ratified 22 individuals from the recent list of 39 cabinet nominees put forth by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for evaluation. Unfortunately, the assembly did not grant approval to 17 of the nominees.

Presiding over the session was Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, the Speaker of the House. He affirmed that the endorsement came subsequent to a meticulous and exhaustive assessment of the nominees by an ad-hoc committee led by the Chief Whip of the House, Hon. Fatai Mojeed.

The Speaker lauded the committee’s efficiency and urged those whose appointments were confirmed to keep in mind that their duty is to serve the people of the state collectively, rather than catering to individual interests.
