Lagos State Executive Council will be fully inaugurated on Tuesday, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said.
The
governor said he would not delay the swearing-in of commissioner-and
special adviser-designates already cleared by the State House of
Assembly.
He spoke at the weekend while receiving a body of
retired top civil servants under the aegis of the Association of Lagos
State Retired Heads of Service and Permanent Secretaries (ALARHOSPS),
Igbere TV reports.
Mr Sanwo-Olu said that the wheel of governance
would be in full gear before the end of the coming week, in fulfillment
of his campaign promise to inaugurate his cabinet within 90 days.
He
added that new Permanent Secretaries would also be sworn in on Monday
to complement the activities of commissioners and special advisers,
Igbere TV reports.
Sanwo-Olu said: “Next week, by God’s grace, we
are swearing in all other complements of cabinet and also Permanent
Secretaries to have the engine of governance on full swing. At that
point, we believe that all the campaign promises we made can come to
reality and Lagosians can benefit more from the choice they made at the
last election.”
The cabinet members are expected to be allocated
their individual ministries during the inauguration ceremony scheduled
to start at 9 am.
The governor described the body of retired
civil servants as “valuable assets” to the state, noting that their
actions while in service contributed to the “enviable height” Lagos
attained among states in the nation.
