The Lagos House of Assembly on Tuesday confirmed Salami Sikiru Adeniji as the state’s substantive Auditor-General as nominated by governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, announced the confirmation during plenary session following a voice vote from members.
Mr Adeniji had earlier appeared before the lawmakers for screening.
In another development, the Assembly also read for the second time, “A Bill for a Law to amend Anti-Corruption and Transparency Commission Law, 2021”.
Chairman, House Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights, Public Petitions, & LASIEC, Victor Akande, said the lacuna in the extant law necessitated the amendment.

Gbolahan Yishawu, representing Eti-Osa constituency II, in his contribution, commended the judiciary committee for acting responsively and responsibly.
