Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has approved the appointment of Tayo Oluwatuyi as the Secretary to the State Government (SSG).

Oluwatuyi was also Ondo SSG under former governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu’s administration but was later replaced with Mrs Oladunni Odu.

The appointment was made known by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ebenezer Adeniyan, in a statement on Wednesday night.

The governor also approved the appointment of Mr. Abayomi Olasanya as the Chief of Protocol, noting that both appointments take immediate effect.

Aiyedatiwa had earlier on Wednesday announced the nomination of Olayide Owolabi Adelami for the position of Deputy Governor, few hours after dissolving the State Executive Council. 

Adelami, who hails from Owo, the hometown of the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, is a former Deputy Clerk of the National Assembly and he is expected to appear before the state House of Assembly on Thursday for screening.

The date of his screening was confirmed in a statement by the Chairman, House Committee on Information, Olatuji Oshati.
