The appointment, they said, takes immediate effect.

“Confirming the appointment of Alhaja Saratu Aduke Konibaje as Iyaloja-General of Oyo State at this crucial stage of our economy in Oyo State couldn’t just be ignored if truly we are interested in moving Oyo State forward economically,” Danjuma stated.
