Ambode sacks LSDPC boss

The new Governor of Lagos state, I must say has shown more activeness than most of us thought from our mere perception of him in his few days of being in office. It is safe to say he stepped in nicely into the shoes of his predecessor and would most likely make Lagosians proud.

However, some officials in sectors of the state where he expects reasonable development might be at the receiving end of the Governor’s Eko oni baje blow.

Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has relieved the Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer of the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSPDC) Corporation, Taofeek Abiodun Oki, of his appointment.

Oki was not the only high ranking officer of LSDPC that was sacked by the governor at the weekend. Three principal officers of the corporation were also relieved of their posts.

The governor further approved the appointment of Engineer Jacob Agosu as acting Chief Executive Officer of the LSPDC, with a mandate to reorganise the corporation.

Prior to his new appointment, Engineer Jacob Agosu was the Deputy General Manager (Joint Ventures) in the corporation. He is also a member of the Nigeria Society of Engineers (NSE) and the Nigeria Institute of Structural Engineers (NISE).
