Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has reappointed Taiwo Fasoranti as the Secretary to the State Government (SSG).

This is contained in a statement on Tuesday in Akure by the governor’s spokesperson, Ebenezer Adeniyan.

According to the statement, the appointment takes immediate effect.

Mr Fasoranti served as SSG until March 30, when he resigned to contest the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary for the Ondo Central senatorial district.

He, however, lost the primary to the incumbent senator, Adeniyi Adegbonmire.

The statement said the governor approved Mr Fasoranti’s reappointment in recognition of his experience in public administration, policy formulation and governance.

“Aiyedatiwa congratulates Fasoranti on his appointment and charges him to justify the confidence reposed in him by serving the people of Ondo State with dedication, integrity and commitment to the agenda of his administration,” the statement read.
