Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has nominated lawyer, Kayode Ajulo, and five others as commissioners.
This came a few hours after Aiyedatiwa sacked all the commissioners and special advisers on Wednesday.
The names of the nominees have therefore been sent to the House of Assembly for screening and confirmation.
The governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Ebenezer Adeniyan, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Friday.
