The Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Monday, sent a second list of commissioner-nominees to the state house of assembly for screening and confirmation.
This is coming a few weeks after the House confirmed 22 and rejected 17 out of the 39 nominees earlier sent to it for ratification and confirmation.
The speaker of the house, Mudashiru Obasa, speaker of the house, announced the receipt of the nominees list at the plenary.
Six former commissioners who served in the first term of Sanwo-Olu were among the nominees not cleared by the assembly.
Obasa, while speaking at the plenary, said Akin Abayomi, the former commissioner of health, who was previously not cleared, made the second list sent by the governor.
He called on the committee that handled the first list to take responsibility for reviewing the new nominees, adding that the panel has until September 9 to report back to the House.
“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,” he said.
