The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ordered the newly sworn-in Chairmen for the 20 local governments and local council development areas (LCDA) not to appoint any official aside the Chief of staff
The order was contained in a memo issued on Thursday, 31 July, 2025 which was addressed to all the council Chairmen, where it was expressly stated that no appointment should be made yet, based on the directive given by the Governor on the day of their inauguration
The state government in the memo titled: ‘Appointment of Political Office Holders’ was signed by Kikelomo Bolarinwa, Permanent Secretary in the state Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
The memo also ordered the council chairmen to revert all other appointments apart from that of the Chief of Staff.
The development is generating controversies as Lagosians were taken aback by such order ,while council chairmen who had made appointments quickly reversed them in compliance with the directive
