Assembly dashes Ambode’s hope over commissioners



Lagos—Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State’s hope  to swear in members of his cabinet next Monday was dashed yesterday as the members of the Lagos State House of Assembly adjourned sitting till October 13 without screening the nominees.
Ambode last Monday sent a list of commissioner and special adviser-nominees to the House for screening.
However, against the norm, the house set up a 15-man committee that will screen the nominees.
A statement from the governor’s office when the list  was sent to the Assembly said the governor was expected to swear in the new  commissioners and special advisers on October 5, with the anticipation that the nominees would have been screened immediately after the Sallah holidays.
“The screening of the list is expected to commence immediately after the Sallah holidays while cleared cabinet members would  be sworn-in to resume the task of governance by Monday, October 5, 2015,” the statement said.
