By Victoria Isaac 

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has appointed Akinwale Akinwole as his new Chief of Staff and Aderonke Adedayo as Director-General of the state’s Due Process Office, filling two key positions in his administration following the resignation of their predecessors.

The appointments were announced in Ibadan on Monday through letters signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Musibau Babatunde.

Akinwole, a grassroots politician, previously served as Chairman of the Oyo State Local Government Service Commission.

Adedayo, who currently serves as Special Adviser on General Intervention and Donor Agencies, will retain her existing position while taking on the additional responsibility of Director-General of the Due Process Office.

Both appointments take immediate effect.

In congratulating the appointees, Makinde urged them to discharge their responsibilities with loyalty, commitment and dedication to the service of Oyo State.

The appointments follow the resignations of the former Chief of Staff, Olusegun Ogunwuyi, and the former Director-General of the Due Process Office, Omotara Adefowope, who stepped down from their positions on Monday morning.
