Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor in Nigeria’s state of Lagos has released the list of his 39 cabinet nominees to help him drive his agenda of repositioning the mega city.
Lagos is the third largest mega city in the world and is the commercial hub of Nigeria and the 5th biggest economy in the West African sub-region.
Many of his former commissioners have been dropped from the list by Sanwo-Olu largely due to non-performance and political interference.
Some of those dropped are: former Commissioners Rabiu Olowo (Finance), Moyosore Onigbanjo, SAN (Justice and Attorney-General) and Yetunde Arobieke (Wealth Creation).
Some prominent former cabinet members who made the list are: former Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, his Budget and Economic Planning counterpart, Mr. Sam Egube, ex-Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi; ex-Special Adviser to the Governor on Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Aramide Adeyooye and his Education counterpart, Tokunbo Wahab.
