The Kwara State Governor Abdul-Rahman Abdul-Razaq has forwarded the names of another batch of commissioner-nominees comprising of five women and one man to the state House of Assembly for confirmation.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, in a statement on Tuesday, confirmed that the full list came five months after the governor apologised to and pledged to compensate for women’s loss at the general election in which 100% of the elective positions went to men.
While unveiling the names of the nominees, Yakubu Danladi, Speaker of the State’s House of Assembly said their screening would begin on October 29.
The latest nominees are: Afolabi-Oshatimehin Adenike Harriet (Ifelodun); Ahmad Fatima Bisola (Ilorin West); Aremu Bose Deborah (Irepodun); Oyedun Juliana Funke (Isin); Oyeyemi Olasumbo Florence (Oke Ero); and Suleiman Rotimi Iliasu (Moro).
Recall that AbdulRazaq had before now released a four-woman list which was followed a few weeks ago by another list of six men.
