The Lagos State House of Assembly on Thursday confirmed the state’s former commissioner for health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, his information and strategy counterpart, Gbenga Omotosho, and 13 other nominees presented by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

However, the parliament rejected the former commissioner for economic planning and budget, Sam Egube, his energy counterpart, Engr. Olalere Odusote and one other nominee.

This was the second time the lawmakers would reject Egube and Odusote in the last two weeks.
