The ongoing public sector reform, which Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, embarked upon immediately after his inauguration, has already claimed chief executive officers in the state’s strategic parastatals.

The reform, according to the findings, has also culminated in the scrapping of the Ministry of Rural Development and the realignment of the Ministries of Special Duties, Home Affairs and Culture and Tourism and Intergovernmental Relations.

But findings from affected parastatals yesterday revealed that of the 82 parastatals in the state, about 10 chief executive officers had been quietly eased out on different dates due to what was ascribed to diverse reasons including their tenure of office.

Those already affected by the reform, according to our findings, include Chairman of Lagos Internal Revenue Service (LIRS), Mr. Babatunde Fowler, who allegedly outlived his terms in the state revenue-generating parastatal.

Findings also showed that the reform has edged out the Managing Director of Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA), Mr. George Noah and the General Manager of Lagos State Emergency Agency (LASEMA), Mr. Femi Oke-Osanyintolu.
Other affected chief executives included the Director-General of Lagos State Pension Commission (LASPEC), Mr. Adekunle Hussein, Managing Director of Lagos State Property Development Corporation (LSPDC), Mr. Taofeek Oki and General Manager of Lagos State Electricity Board (LSEB), Mrs. Damilola Ogunbiyi.
