Sanwo-Olu Swears In 37 New Commissioners, Special Advisers (Full List)

Sanwo-Olu has sworn in 37 new commissioners and special advisers.

 

Glamtush reports that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State on Wednesday swore in 37 cabinet members made up of commissioners and special advisers for his second term in office.

This is coming about six weeks after the governor transmitted his first list of nominees to the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Sanwo-Olu, during the swearing-in ceremony held at Adeyemi Bero Auditorium, Alausa, Lagos, urged the new members of the executive council to ensure that every decision taken has the best interest of the people of the state.

According to him, “The expectations of our people have never been higher than they are right now; therefore, doing your best to meet them is not an option.

“Lagos is the centre of excellence; your work must be excellent in every ramification. Working together, carrying the people along, keeping your feet on the ground, and ensuring that every decision you take has the best interest of our people at the heart of it are the surest ways to succeed.”
