Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa has forwarded a fresh list of 12 commissioner-nominees to the State House of Assembly for approval.
Naija News understands the list which was addressed to the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Olamide Oladiji, was signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Tayo Oluwatuyi.
The list also contained names of seven individuals who served during the administration of late former Governor of the State, Rotimi Akeredolu.
The nominees include Pastor Segun Ayerin, Mr. Olaolu Akindolire, Alhaji Hamidu Takuro, Dr. Banji Ajaka, Mr. Boye Ologbese, Mr. Sunday Akinwalere and Deaconess Lola Fagbemi.
