Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, has appointed Bimbo Salu-Hudeyin, a lawyer, as the secretary to the state government (SSG).

Salu-Hundeyin, who has served as a federal commissioner of the National Population Commission (NPC), replaces Sherifat Folashade Jaji.

Sanwo-Olu also reappointed Tayo Ayinde and Gboyega Soyannwo, as chief of staff and deputy chief of staff respectively.

Gboyega Akosile, chief press secretary to the governor, confirmed the appointments on Thursday.

“Lagos State Governor @jidesanwoolu has approved the appointment of Barrister Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin as secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mr Tayo Ayinde as Chief of Staff and Mr Gboyega Soyannwo as Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor,” he wrote on his Twitter page.

Sanwo-Olu won re-election after he polled 762,134 votes to win ahead of  Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party (LP), who scored 312,329 votes, and Olajide Adediran of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The governor was elected in 2019 after he defeated incumbent Akinwumi Ambode at the party’s primaries and won his bid for a second term during the March 18 governorship election in the state.
