Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has reappointed two media aides, Jubril Gawat and Wale Ajetunmobi.

The duo’s appointments were approved by Mr Sanwo-Olu, in separate letters to them and signed by the Head of Service (HOS) Hakeem Muri-Okunola.

He said the two appointments took immediate effect.

Mr Gawat, a celebrity digital media influencer and strategist, served as the Governor’s senior special assistant (SSA) on new media during Mr Sanwo-Olu’s first term. He returned to the senior role.

Mr Ajetunmobi, a versatile and decorated reporter with The Nation newspaper, had initially served during the Governor’s first tenure as special assistant on media (Print).

Mr Sanwo-Olu reappointed Mr Ajetunmobi to the position of senior special assistant (SSA) on Press (Print Media).

In the letters confirming the development, he noted that the reappointment demonstrated high-level confidence and trust in the appointed media aides.

“In reappointing you, the state government expects you to demonstrate a high level of dedication, diligence and selflessness in the discharge of your duties, to justify the confidence and trust reposed in you,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said.
