Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, has sent the list of members of his cabinet to the state house of assembly.
In a Twitter post on Friday, Gboyega Akosile, chief press secretary (CPS), to the governor said the list consists of 39 names with 30% women, youths, technocrats and politicians.
According to the law, the president and governors are mandated to send the list of cabinet members to the legislature within 60 days of taking the oath of office for ratification. The deadline ends today.
In March, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Sanwo-Olu as the winner of the Lagos governorship election.
