Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has assigned portfolios to the 16 newly inaugurated commissioners, directing them to immediately assume duties and begin implementing the administration’s developmental agenda.
The announcement was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, in Akure—less than 24 hours after the commissioners were sworn in at the International Centre for Culture and Events, Akure.
The statement listed the portfolio allocations as follows:
Idowu Ajanaku – Ministry of Information and Orientation
Igbekele Ajibefun – Ministry of Education
Tob Loko – Ministry of Environment
Ayorinde Abiola Olawoye – Ministry of Infrastructure, Lands and Housing
Ayodele Akande – Ministry of Water Resources and Public Sanitation
Alabi Johnson – Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources
Amidu Takuro – Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs
Adewale Akinlosotu – Ministry of Regional Integration and Diaspora Relations
Seun Abosede Osamaye – Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development
The appointments are part of the governor’s broader strategy to revamp governance and service delivery in the state, especially as his administration intensifies preparations for the upcoming 2024/2025 fiscal implementation cycle.
Governor Aiyedatiwa urged the commissioners to discharge their responsibilities with dedication, transparency, and a strong sense of accountability to the people of Ondo State.
