See the full list of commissioner nominees approved by Governor Sanwo-Olu

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, wasted no time in taking decisive action as he sent a list of his cabinet nominees to the Lagos State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation on Friday. The move came swiftly after President Bola Tinubu’s submission of a list of 28 ministerial nominees to the Senate for a similar process.

In a tweet post on Friday, July 28, 2023, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Gboyega Akosile, disclosed that the list consists of 39 names, with a notable emphasis on diversity and inclusivity. Notably, 30% of the nominees are women, reflecting the administration’s commitment to gender balance. Additionally, the list includes a mix of youthful talents, seasoned technocrats, and experienced politicians, aiming to bring various perspectives and expertise to the state’s governance.

With this timely action, Governor Sanwo-Olu is demonstrating his determination to move swiftly in forming a capable and well-rounded cabinet to address the needs and aspirations of the people of Lagos State. The nominees’ screening and confirmation process in the Lagos State House of Assembly will be a crucial step towards the administration’s vision of a dynamic and inclusive government that serves the interests of all citizens.
