The Governor of Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, on Monday swore in five new members of the State Executive Council with a charge on them to hit the ground running and offer only the best of services to the people. Speaking at a brief swearing-in ceremony held at the Lagos State Executive Council Chambers in Alausa, Ikeja, Ambode said the new cabinet members were appointed based on their track record, expertise and experience, and as such they must immediately settle down in office and inject new ideas to reinvigorate and reenergize government machinery to the overall benefit of the people. Ambode said, “As you settle down to your new assignments, I demand nothing but the best from you. This, however, does not preclude the initiation of new projects that are considered highly essential and critical to the general well-being of our people. Today, we are delighted to welcome on board the newly sworn-in members of the State Executive Council.
