THE Lagos State House of Assembly today confirmed 22 of the 39 commissioner-nominees forwarded for screening by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The Assembly, on the other hand, rejected 17 commissioner nominees.

Recall that some Islamic clerics had last week protested alleged lopsidedness over the list of commissioner-nominees submitted to the Assembly by the governor. They had claimed that eight Muslims made the governor’s 39-man list while the rest were Christians.
