The Lagos State House of Assembly on Tuesday failed to confirm 17 out of the 39 commissioner-nominees forwarded by the state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
It was learned that the lawmakers who had earlier faulted the list when it was submitted weeks ago confirmed only 22 names out of the 39 names sent to the state assembly.
Some of the nominees rejected by the lawmakers include former Commissioner for Health, Prof Akin Abayomi and former Commissioner for Information & Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso.
Others are Dada Cecilia, former Commissioner for Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation; Sola Hammond, former Special Adviser on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); Sam Egube, former Commissioner for Budget and Planning; and Aramide Adeyoye, former Special Assistant, Works and Infrastructure.
