The plenary presided over by Hon Adebo Ogundoyin also screened and confirmed the appointment of Dr Nureni Adeniran as Chairman of State Universal Basic Education Board(SUBEB) in Oyo state while Mr Akeem Oladeji and Hon Dayo Ogungbenro were confirmed as full time members of the board.

Hon Ogundoyin said the resolve of Governor Seyi Makinde to transform Oyo state is not in doubt going by the caliber of people being considered for  appointment into the state executive council.

The Speaker maintained that virtually all the appointees are technocrats and highly cerebral people who have or are making waives in their chosen careers.

The nominees are expected to be sworn in by Governor Seyi Makinde anytime soon.
