The cabinet reshuffle comes
exactly one year after the Governor constituted his Executive Council,
precisely on October 19, 2015.
The Governor of Lagos State,
Akinwunmi Ambode, has carried out a cabinet reshuffle which also led to the
sacking of three commissioners.
Mr Ambode on Wednesday
dropped Folorunsho Folarin-Coker who was in charge of Tourism, Dr Mustapha
Akinkunmi who was the Finance Commissioner and Dr. Ekundayo Mobereola who
oversaw the Transport Ministry.
In a statement signed by
the Secretary to the State Government, Tunji Bello, the Governor also directed
the Special Adviser, Arts and Culture to take over as the Acting Commissioner
for Ministry of Tourism and Culture while the Special Adviser on Transportation
was asked to take over as the acting Commissioner for Transportation.
The Permanent Secretary in
the Ministry of Finance on the other hand, was instructed to take over as the
acting Commissioner for Finance pending the appointment of new commissioners in
the respective ministries.
While no reason was given
for their sack, the statement added that the governor expressed his
appreciation to the former commissioners for their service to the state.
