Oyo State House of Assembly, OYHA, has screened and confirmed a commissioner nominee, Dr Abdullateef Oyeleke who is expected to take charge the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. 

Dr Oyeleke’s appointment was confirmed on the floor after lawmakers inquired his plan of action and asked him to take a bow. 

While answering questions, Dr Oyeleke promised to set up a task force to look into indiscriminate dumping of refuse and illegal erection of kiosk and shops in major roads, to ensure a clean, safe and secured environment. 

Speaker of the house, Mr Adebo Ogundoyin expressed confidence in the choice of Dr Oyeleke by Governor Seyi Makinde for the replacement of former Commissioner of Environment, late Kehinde Ayoola. 

Dr Abdullateef Oyeleke who until his confirmation as a commissioner in the state was the chairman, Oyo State Community and Social Development Agency, is a solicitor of business and finance law.
