The Oyo State House of Assembly on Tuesday approved the appointment of former Oyo State Commissioner for Education, Mr AbdulRahman AbdulRaheem, as the Chairman, Oyo State Education Trust Fund.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the House also confirmed the nomination of Dr Nureni Adeniran as the Chairman, Oyo State Basic Education Board (SUBEB).
NAN reports that the confirmation of the duo followed the presentation of reports by the House Committee on Education (Basic and Secondary) and that of Education, Tertiary Institutions, Science and Technology.
Gov. Seyi Makinde had on Wednesday forwarded the names of the two nominees to the Oyo State House of Assembly for confirmation.
The report by the House Committee on Education, Tertiary Institutions, Science and Technology, read by the Committee Chairman, Mr Oluwafemi Oluwafowokanmi, found AbdulRaheem worthy of the appointment.
It thereby recommended him for confirmation by the House.
Oluwafowokanmi said the confirmation was because he satisfactorily answered questions put to him by the committee.
”We also considered his sterling and unprecedented performance in the education sector in the state, especially as a former Commissioner for Education.
“The Committee hereby recommends that, pursuant to Section 12 of Oyo State Education Trust Fund, the House confirms the appointment of AbdulRahman Abiodun AbdulRaheem as Chairman, Oyo State Education Trust Fund,” he said.
In the same vein, the second report read by the House Committee Chairman on Education (Basic and Secondary), Mr Johnson Ogundele, described Adeniran as a seasoned administrator.
It said he performed well during his tenure as the immediate-past chairman of SUBEB, and therefore deserved to continue on in that position.
