ABEOKUTA -THE Ogun state House of\u00a0 Assembly has approved the appointment of the sons of Nobel Laurete Prof. Wole Soyinka, Dr. Olaokun and that of late theatre doyen, Hubert Ogunde, Mr Oluwemimo (SAN) as part of\u00a0 17 commissioner- nominees screened.<\/p>\n

The list of Commissioners was\u00a0 forwarded\u00a0 last week to the House of assembly\u00a0 by the state\u00a0 governor, Senator\u00a0 Ibikunle Amosun while two other names were added on Monday prompting their screening.<\/p>\n

The House which\u00a0 later adopted the report and confirmed the nomination of the commissioners-designate\u00a0 at the plenary session\u00a0 also approved the proposed\u00a0 appointment of 20 Special advisers to the governor whose list was sent to the House Tuesday\u00a0 for their legislators approval.<\/p>\n

During the screening,\u00a0 the London-trained medical doctor Dr Oluokun Soyinka and Oluwemimo Ogunde (SAN) appeared before the\u00a0 committee of former Speaker Muyiwa Oladipo the whole House where they were drilled and certified to be worthy of the position.<\/p>\n

Also among the Commissioners designate who appered were the immediate-past Editorial Board Chairman\u00a0 of ThisDay newspaper, Mr. Yusuf\u00a0 Olaniyonu,\u00a0 a\u00a0 London-trained\u00a0 Chartered Accountant Mrs Folakemi Adeosun, as well as son of Osile of Oke-Ona, Oba Adedapo Tejuoso, Dr. Lanre Tejuosho.<\/p>\n

Part of those that scaled through the screening\u00a0 were\u00a0\u00a0 former running mate of governor Amosun in 2007 Mrs Olayinka Sonubi,\u00a0 Durojaiye Ayedogbon, Adebayo Fari,\u00a0\u00a0 Lekan Adegbite, Falilu Sabitu, Segun Odubela, Olu Odeyemi, and\u00a0 Adejobi Bolarinwa.<\/p>\n

Confirming their nomination the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Hon Suraj Adekunbi asked Mrs. Adijat Oladapo-Adeleye representing Ifo11 state constituency to\u00a0 read\u00a0 and move the motion for the adoption of the report on the screening of the nominees\u00a0 and was seconded by\u00a0 Mr. Bankole Olusola representing Ado-Odo Ota.<\/p>\n

The Speaker\u00a0 further\u00a0 called the majority leader of the House, Mr. Jolaoso Isreal representing Ewekoro to move the motion for the confirmation of their nomination\u00a0 by putting it into voice vote\u00a0 which favoured all the commissioners-designate except one Mr Gbenga Otenuga who was absent on medical ground.<\/p>\n

Responding to\u00a0 some questions asked by the committee members, Soyinka\u2019s son promised to partner with foreign donors and generate fund for the state if eventually allowed to serve as commissioner for health in the state.<\/p>\n

According to Hubert Ogunde\u2019s\u00a0 son, Oluwemimo\u00a0 lamented\u00a0 the failure of the National Assembly to gazette\u00a0 laws that were passed on the floor of the chambers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
