Sanwo-Olu appoints Egube as deputy chief of staff after Soyannwo’s death

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, has appointed Samuel Egube as the new deputy chief of staff.

Gboyega Akosile, chief press secretary to the governor, announced the appointment on Wednesday on his X page.

Akosile said Egube would replace the late Gboyega Soyannwo, the former deputy chief of staff, who died on May 15 after a brief illness at the age of 55.

He added that Egube would be sworn in on Thursday.

Egube was the former commissioner for economic planning and budget in the first term of Sanwo-Olu’s administration.

Egube, who was born on March 5, 1969, is a fellow of the Institute of Credit Administration (FCIA), a member of the Nigerian Institute of Management (AMNIN), a member of the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), and an honorary senior member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers.
