Lekan Adeniran has been named as the governor of Ogun State’s chief press secretary (CPS) by Prince Dapo Abiodun.
Kunle Somorin was the chief press secretary for Governor Abiodun during his first tenure.
However, the new CPS was announced by the governor on Tuesday in a statement that was also signed by Tokunbo Talabi, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG).
Mr Talabi in the statement said, “The appointment takes immediate effect.”
Adeniran was defined by Talabi as a mass communication graduate with “over three decades experience as a journalist.”
According to the statement, the new hire began his journalism career in 1992 at The Guardian, where he covered the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the Lagos State House of Assembly, and the governor’s office in Alausa, Ikeja.
“He left The Guardian in 2001 to join the newly established Daily Independent. The new CPS also worked with the Compass, Next, and National Mirror newspapers.
“Before the appointment, he was the editor of WesternPost, an online newspaper publication,” the statement read in part.
