The Osun house of assembly has begun the screening of persons nominated as commissioners and special advisers by Ademola Adeleke, the state governor.
OsunDailyNG had reported how Adewale Egbedun, speaker of the assembly, read the governor’s letter containing 25 names, during plenary last week.
Sources told OsunDailyNG that some of the nominees — Oladosu Babatunde, Bayo Ogungbangbe, Sesan Ephraim Oyedele, Kolapo Alimi, Soji Ajeigbe, Moshood O. Olagunju, and George Alabi, are currently being grilled by the house.
Others are Sunday Olufemi Oroniyi, Abiodun Bankole Ọjọ, Basiru Tokunbo Salami, Morufu Ayofe, Ṣọlá Ogungbile and Bunmi Jenyo.
Abidemi Oyewusi, Osun deputy speaker, urged the commissioner nominees to follow due process outlined by the ad hoc screening committee.
Oyewusi said this on Wednesday while delivering his opening remarks.
In a statement by Segun Amure, Oyewusi’s aide on media, the deputy speaker, who doubles as the ad hoc screening committee chairman, said the exercise is aimed at giving the best to the people of the state.
