In his address, Sanwo-Olu urged the newly sworn-in members of the state Executive Council to fervently and ultimately assist him in serving the people of Lagos state.

“The Blueprint for a new Lagos and the Development Plan (2012 to 2025) are still relevant as strategic reference materials for a systematic implementation of medium and long-term policies, in line with the overall vision for our state.

“However, in this administration, our task must be to accelerate the trajectory of growth and development of Lagos State, embarked upon by the administration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and built upon by successive administrations.

“Today, providence has entrusted us with the great responsibility of ensuring that the vision of the blueprint and the Development Plan comes to pass wholly and completely,” Sanwo-Olu said.

The governor, who noted that the cabinet could not afford to disappoint the people of Lagos State, urged members to brace up for challenges and embrace transparency, accountability, fairness and value for money.

“Let me remind you that your appointment is a unique privilege and a call to service. It must not be seen as opportunity for self-service.

“While discharging the responsibility that will be assigned to you, you must imbibe our culture of transparency, accountability, fairness and value for money.

“I therefore implore you to earnestly commit yourselves to the agenda and vision of this administration.

“I charge you to show commitment, diligence and exemplary leadership, as the necessary virtues needed to achieve the greatness we desire for our state and to deliver the prosperity our people deserve, ” he added.

One of the newly sworn-in commissioners, Mr Tunji Bello, who delivered a vote of assurance on behalf of others, promised that the new cabinet members would serve the state and support the governor’s campaign promises.

Earlier in her welcome address, Secretary to the State Government, Mrs Folasahde Jaji, said that the inauguration was significant because it underlined the will and determination of the governor, to improve governance and well being of residents.

“Today’s inauguration is an important fulfillment of the constitutional requirements, as enshrined in Section 192 (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as members, “Jaji said.

The event was witnessed by government functionaries, members of the Governor’s Advisory Council, members of the Lagos State House of Assembly, stalwarts of APC, and traditional rulers among others.

lol,

So Joe Igbokwe is Commissioner for Lagos Gutters?

Serves him right

Joe Igbokwe u see ur life. Upon denying ur ancestral root common 'mere commissioner " U no see rather officer in charge gutter affairs

Why are Igbos like this? How is accepting Special Adviser a problem? Nothing you do satisfies Igbos...even if he was named Deputy Governor, Igbos would still call him traitor. Do you guys realise there is an Hausa man, Kabiru Abdullahi, on the list? There is also Egude from Edo on the list. Na only Igbos dey wail. Tufiaaaaa!!!!

So this man refuses to appoint me commissioner. OK God is watching

U no go kill me.. Igbo has never give our any political post to any yoruba since then born me. Kudos to sanwo.. He really want unity. I wish other governor will emulate that idea

Those who are laughing at the so called "drainage adviser" may not even be able to make in a year what he's going to be receiving in a month.

I sight my guy Igbokwe.

His post is actually a nice one where results can be achieved faster and he can reach the limelight easily.

Lagos drainage system is bad and a lot of people always block the drainage system with dustbin and having a proactive advisor like Igbokwe could be of benefit to the LASG.

Igbokwe shouldn’t take the bashing from his kinsmen to heart, they hate everyone including their own so they are not important. It’s better they hate you than support you coz most times those they support always fails.

Rome is not built in a day, if he performs he may get a better portfolio in the future. Being a special adviser in Lagos is far better than being a commissioner in Abia where all they do is only to share kerosene, that’s a fact!

To whom much is given, much is expected

I hope they work the work and stop blame games.

Happy 4yrs

Congrats to them all. We look forward to their excellent deliveries.
