Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa approves new appointments that include one commissioner, three special advisers and a total of 1,000 political aides, aimed at strengthening governance and improving service delivery.
The Nigerian Eye and Daily Post Nigeria report that the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Ebenezer Adeniyan, confirms the appointments and details the aide breakdown as 90 Senior Special Assistants and 910 Special Assistants. The reports also say the commissioner-designate is Erelu Taibat Yemi Oloruntoba, nominated for Special Duties, and that her name is forwarded to the Ondo State House of Assembly for screening.
Both outlets list the three special advisers by portfolio: Abimbola Fajolu (Environment), Chief Ade Adeniyi (Rural and Community Development), and Muyiwa Ogunyemi (Transport). They also describe the governor’s intention to set the appointments in motion immediately while releasing the full list of aides later. The Punch similarly reports the appointments, focusing on the overall number and categories created by the governor.
