It will be recalled that Governor Sanwo-Olu forwarded the nominee’s name to the house on Thursday July 13, 2023 to fulfill the constitutional proviso required before a nominee could be confirmed for any public office.

After a voice vote the nominee was confirmed as the new Auditor-General of Lagos State.

The Clerk Barrister Olalekan Onafeko was later directed to write to inform governor of the official confirmation of his nominee.
