Seyi Makinde Reshuffles Cabinet

The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Tuesday, approved a minor cabinet reshuffle.

It was reported that the governor had, a few days ago, issued a statement for the approval of the nomination of Oba Owolabi Olakulehin as 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland after some prominent Ibadan indigenes have intervened into the issue.

Makinde, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Suleiman Olanrewaju, in Ibadan, the capital, said, “The reshuffle saw the former Commissioner for Trade, Industry, Investment, and Cooperatives, Ademola Ojo, move to the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters.

“Ojo is a former chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria in the state chapter.

“Segun Olayiwola, who until the reshuffling was manning the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, has been moved to the Ministry of Establishment and Training.

“The erstwhile Commissioner for Establishment and Training, Adeniyi Adebisi, will move to the Ministry of Trade, Industry, Investment and Cooperatives.

“The reshuffling is with immediate effect.” The statement stated.
