Barely 11 days into his second term, Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has sought the approval of the State House of Assembly for the reappointment of three commissioners who served in his first-term administration.
The nominees and their portfolios are Mr Dayo Apata (SAN) as Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Akintunde Oyebode as Commissioner for Finance, and Dr Oyebanji Filani as Commissioner for Health and Human Services.
The proposed reappointments, according to a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Yinka Oyebode, are expected to ensure continuity in the administration of the justice, finance and health sectors as the Governor consolidates on the achievements of his first term and advances his development agenda.
According to the statement, the Governor also requested the lawmakers’ approval for the appointment of 10 Special Advisers to strengthen the administration’s capacity to deliver on its governance priorities.
The request comes as the administration moves to constitute its key decision-making team early in the second term, with the three portfolios considered vital to effective governance and service delivery.
Last week, Oyebanji approved appointments in the power, road infrastructure and transportation sectors as part of efforts to strengthen the machinery of government.
