The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has confirmed the appointment of Ms. Abisola Olusanya as the substantive Commissioner for Agriculture.
The confirmation was contained in a circular issued by the State Head of Service, Mr. Hakeem Muri-Okunola on Wednesday November 11.
Sanwo-Olu, who congratulated and wished the new commissioner a successful tenure in office, first appointed Ms. Olusanya into the State Executive Council August 20, last year, as the Special Adviser on Agriculture.
He later appointed her as the Acting Commissioner for Agriculture on June 8 this year, upon the resignation and subsequent coronation of the erstwhile Commissioner for Agriculture, HRM Oba Omogbolahan Abdulwasiu Lawal, Abisogun II as the 15th Oniru of Iru Kingdom.
According to the HoS, Olusanya is a tenacious and result-oriented professional with 10 years experience in leadership roles, spanning sales, marketing and supply chain management with a specialty in executing strategies towards food security, SME inclusion, growth and profitability within a sustainable eco-system.
“She is a leader with a participatory management style and proficiency in establishing and managing an entire operation with a key focus on sustainable organisational culture in line with global management practices,” he added.
