The Lagos State House of Assembly on Wednesday confirmed 22 out of the 39 commissioner-nominees sent recently by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for screening.
The Assembly, however, rejected 17 commissioner-nominees.
Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, who presided over the day’s sitting, said the confirmation followed rigorous and detailed screening of the nominees by an ad-hoc committee led by the Chief Whip of the House, Hon. Fatai Mojeed.
He commended the committee for its effectiveness and urged the confirmed nominees to always remember that they are in office to serve the people of the State and not individuals.
