“The additional ministries will boost service delivery by the Gov. Seyi Makinde administration; we want to improve productivity in all areas of governance,” Ogundoyin said while announcing the passage of the Bills.
He said that the additional ministries would bring government nearer to the people and equally boost the provision of basic infrastructure to the grassroots.
The speaker maintained that the Bills were thoroughly scrutinised by the lawmakers to ensure that they had no overlapping of functions.
