The Lagos State House of Assembly has shed more light on the circumstances leading to the disqualification of seventeen out of the thirty-nine commissioner nominees sent to it by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Recall that 22 of the Commissioner Nominees were however confirmed by the lawmakers on Wednesday.
This follows the presentation before the House by Hon. Mojeed Fatai of the report of the 12-man ad hoc committee on the screening of the Governor’s commissioner nominees.
Asked for the reason behind the non-confirmation of the 17 nominees, the Chief Whip of the Assembly who also served as the Chairman of the Screening Committee, Mojeed Fatai Adebola said the rejection of the nominees was a result of the unanimous decision by all members of the state assembly and not his personal decision.
He stated this during an Interview with TVC News on Wednesday night.
He said: “As I said at our inaugural sitting, our mandate was just to screen, not to confirm nor disqualify any nominee.
“The reason for rejection is best known to the house (40 members), not as an individual. We did our job in checking the nominees’ track records.
