Oyo Assembly Set To Screen Commissioner – Nominee
The Oyo State House of Assembly, yesterday, confirmed that the name of Dr Lateef Idowu-Oyeleke had been forwarded to it for screening as commissioner nominee.
Consequently, it has fixed the screening of the commissioner-nominee for August 11.
Our source reports that Idowu-Oyeleke’s name was forwarded to the Assembly by Governor Seyi Makinde to replace the late Mr Kehinde Ayoola.
Ayoola, a former Commissioner for Environment, died on May 14 during a brief illness.
The Speaker, Adebo Ogundoyin, said that the commissioner-nominee would be screened on August 11, while his curriculum vita would also be checked to authenticate his records and ascertain his competence as a commissioner in the state.
Ogundoyin said that the vacant commissionership position needed to be filled with a competent hand so that work could progress in the ministry.
The speaker further directed the commissioner-nominee to forward 60 copies of his curriculum vitae to the Assembly before the screening date for proper scrutiny.
