By Sunday Ani

Again, the Lagos State House of Assembly on Thursday rejected two out of the 18 nominees that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu recently submitted to the lawmakers for a second time. The lawmakers, however, confirmed 15 of the nominees and stepped down the confirmation of one of the nominees.

The confirmation of the 15 nominees followed the laying of the report of the screening exercise before the House by the Chief Whip and chairman of the screening committee, Mojeed Fatai.

At a sitting presided over by the Speaker of the House, Dr. Mudashiru Obasa, the lawmakers rejected Olalere Odusote, and Mr. Samuel Egube. The House equally resolved to step down the confirmation of Tolani Sule Akibu for another day.

Dr. Obasa commended the committee for doing a thorough job. His position was also supported by the lawmakers present at plenary.

Those that confirmed included 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 and Mrs. Barakat Akande Bakare.
