Governor Abiodun Swears In 18 Commissioners

The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has sworn in the 18 commissioners recently screened and approved by the State House of Assembly with their portfolios assigned.

The new commissioners which comprise three female and 15 male were inaugurated on Friday at an event held at the June 12 Cultural Centre in Kuto in Abeokuta, the state capital.

However, the Commissioner-Designate (Education), Mrs Sidi Osho, was absent from the ceremony while a commissioner has not been announced for the Ministry of Information.

He also used the opportunity of the event to promise the people of the state more infrastructure, better education, and improved security of their lives and properties.
