The Lagos State House of Assembly has confirmed 22 out of the 39 commissioner-nominees sent by Governor BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU for screening.

The Assembly, however, rejected 17 commissioner-nominees.

Speaker of the House, MUDASHIRU OBASA said the confirmation followed rigorous and detailed screening of the nominees by an ad-hoc committee led by the Chief Whip of the House, FATAI MOJEED.

He commended the committee for its effectiveness and urged the confirmed nominees to always remember that they are in office to serve the people of the State and not individuals.
