Makinde Returns Five Ex-Commissioners, Sends Five Nominees To Oyo Assembly

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has returned five more commissioners whose appointments were terminated during his last cabinet reshuffle.

It was gathered that their names were contained in a letter containing 10 Commissioner- nominees forwarded to the Oyo House of Assembly by the Governor for consideration and approval.

The five returning former Commissioners are,Mr Seun Fakorede, Mr Adeniyi Adebisi, Mr Olasunkanmi Olaleye, Mr Wasiu Olatunbosun and Mr Abdulrahman Abdulrahim.

The five new Commissioner-designates are Mr Abiodun Oni, Prof Misbau Babatunde, Mr Segun Olayiwola, Dr Bode Ladipo and Alhaja Kafilat Omolabake Olayiwola.

With this development, there is a strong indication the Oyo State House of Assembly will hold a special plenary session anytime soon to consider and approve the list of the Commissioner- nominees.

The Assembly is on recess and will resume on the 12th of October, 2021.

Seven returning Commissioners submitted by the Governor were screened and approved by the House on August 5, 2021.
