The Oyo State House of Assembly will today screen 12 commissioner-nominees, whose names were sent to the Assembly on Monday by Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
The nominees are expected to appear before the House with 40 copies of their credentials.
One of the sons of the Olubadan, Prince Gbade Lana, is among the nominees.
Prince Lana is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the chairman of the Oyo State Library Board.
Five former commissioners – Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, Mr. Adebayo Ojo, Mr. Dapo Lam Adesina, Princess Adetutu Adeyemi-Akhigbe and Mr. Zaccheus Adelabu –also made the list.
Others are Prof. S.O. Olaniyan; Princess Olufunke Oworu; Mr. Faruk Arisekola-Alao, son of frontline businessman Alhaji Azeez Arisekola- Alao; Mr. Adewale Lawrence Olujide, Mr. Abiodun Fatai Atanda and Mr. Deji Akande.
The Speaker, Alhaja Monsurat Sunmonu, said the lawmakers would peruse the nominees’ credentials.
A second list containing the names of six nominees is still expected from the governor.
Ajimobi dissolved the State Executive Council on September 23.
The Assembly yesterday extended the tenure of 32 local government transition committee chairmen by six months. Their tenure would have expired tomorrow.
The Chairman for Ogo Oluwa Local Government (the 33rd council), Wasiu Olatunbosun, was appointed last month.
