Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Monday, September 4, 2023, sent a new list of cabinet member-nominees to the State House of Assembly for confirmation.

The Clerk of the House, Olalekan Onafeko, who read the governor’s letter during plenary on Monday, said the former Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, and ex-Commissioner for Information, Gbenga Omotosho, who were earlier rejected by the lawmakers were included in the new list.

Also nominated were Folashade Ambrose-Medem, Yomi Olorunyomi, Rotimi Fashola, Mosopefolu George, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, Barakat Bakare, and Olumide Oluyinka.
