The long-awaited list of Commissioners and Special Advisers of Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has been submitted to the House of Assembly.

Though the legislators have been on recess, the spokesperson to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, confirmed that the list was submitted through the speaker, Rt Hon. Wale Egbedun.

He said the list is to be read out at the plenary session of the Assembly when it resumes from its recess early next week.

Rasheed noted that the legislators went on recess after the inauguration to allow the new lawmakers get their logistics and be prepared for legislative business.

He said, “His Excellency has finalized the commissioners’ list and submitted 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 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 state Assembly, National Assembly and the presidential elections.

“The good thing is that the long wait is over. The long awaited commissioners’ list here,” Rasheed added.
