THE Lagos State House of Assembly earlier today confirmed fresh 15 out of the 18 names forwarded to it on Monday by the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The confirmation happened after Hon. Mojeed Fatai, Chief Whip and chairman of the screening committee, laid a report of the exercise before the House.
At a sitting presided over by the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, the lawmakers rejected Engr. Olalere Odusote, Mr. Samuel Egube, and Hon. Tolani Sule Akibu.
However, the House resolved to step down the confirmation of Hon. Tolani Sule Akibu for another day.
Dr. Obasa commended the committee saying the members did a thorough job screening the nominees. His position was supported by the lawmakers present at the plenary.
Those confirmed include:
•Dr. Afolabi Abiodun Tajudeen
•Mr Oluwaseun Oriyomi Osiyemi
•Prof. Akinola Emmanuel Abayomi
•Dr. Oluwarotimi Omotola Wahab Fashola
•Mrs Folashade Kaosarat Ambrose-Medem
•Mrs Akinyemi Bankole Ajigbotafe
•Mrs. Bolaji Cécilia Dada
•Mrs. Barakat Akande Bakare
•Mr. Olugbenga Omotosho
•Mr Mosopefoluwa George
•Dr. Yekini Nurudeen Agbaje
•Dr. Olumide Oluyinka
•Mr. Abayomi Samson Oluyomi
•Dr. Iyabode Oyeyemi Ayoola
•Hon. Sola Shakirudeen Giwa
The fresh screening is coming a few weeks after the House confirmed 22 and rejected 17 out of the 39 nominees earlier sent to it for ratification and confirmation.
The immediate past Commissioner for Health in the state, Prof. Akin Abayomi, who was among the 17 nominees rejected by the House, made the new list and has now been confirmed.
