GOVERNOR Ademola Adeleke has submitted the full list of commissioners and special advisers nominees to the Osun State House of Assembly through the House Speaker.
The list is to be read out at the plenary session of the Assembly when it resumes from its recess early next week.
The House of Assembly had gone on recess after the inauguration to allow the new lawmakers to get prepared for legislative business and for the logistics of House operations to be firmed up for the newly inaugurated Assembly.
This disclosure was made by the Spokesperson to the governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed while speaking to journalists at Osogbo, Osun State capital on Tuesday afternoon.
“His Excellency has finalised the commissioners’ list and submitted the same to the state Assembly. The House is resuming next week and expectedly, the House Speaker will disclose the names to his colleagues to commence screening of the nominees.
“The governor and the state leadership have done the needful and the public should expect the list to be made public sooner than later.
“The delay was clearly due to many factors, namely the protracted litigation on the outcome of the governorship election and the general elections covering the state Assembly, National Assembly and the presidential elections.
“The good thing is that the long wait is over. The long-awaited commissioners’ list is here”, the Spokesperson posited.
Governor Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was elected in the keenly contested governorship election which took place on 16 July 2022. He had had to wade through three levels of adjudication for a confirmation of his victory at the poll.
