In addition to the commissioner nominees, the governor has appointed three individuals as Special Advisers: Olugbenga Omole (Special Adviser on Information and Strategy), Mrs. Olamide Falana (Special Adviser on Gender Affairs), and Mr. Alabi Johnson (Special Adviser on Energy).
The nomination of Olukayode A. Ajulo, SAN, as Commissioner has garnered praise, particularly from Mr. Daramola Adesuyi, the founder of the Daramola Adesuyi Foundation (DAF). Adesuyi commended Governor Aiyedatiwa for the selection, describing Ajulo as an icon in the legal profession in Nigeria and a mentor to many, including himself.
Adesuyi expressed optimism about Ajulo’s potential contributions, citing his laudable track record in law practice and private life. The DAF founder congratulated the legal professional and Senior Advocate of Nigeria on his nomination, expressing confidence in Ajulo’s ability to excel in any official portfolio assigned to him.
