The Lagos State House of Assembly has confirmed Enitan Waheed Oshodi as Chairman of the State Trust Fund Board of Trustees following his nomination by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

The confirmation came after the presentation of a screening report by an ad hoc committee chaired by Fatai Mojeed, which conducted the exercise in line with Sections 106 and 192 of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution, as amended.

According to the report, the committee assessed Mr Oshodi’s credentials, personal appearance and performance during the screening. Lawmakers also questioned the nominee, with the committee noting that he responded satisfactorily.

Mr Mojeed said a review of previous appointments to the position showed that Mr Oshodi met the required standards and qualified for the role.

The committee unanimously recommended his confirmation, which was subsequently approved by the House.

Following the decision, the Speaker of the Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, directed the Clerk of the House, Olalekan Onafeko, to forward the resolution to the governor.
