The governor also appointed three Special Advisers to the cabinet.

However, the names of the appointees were contained in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, on Friday in Akure, the state capital.

The nominees were unveiled barely 24 hours after Aiyedatiwa hinted at his plans to return some of the sacked members of the State Executive Council (SEC) to the government.

The governor had while overseeing the swearing-in of deputy governor, Dr Olayide Adelami on Thursday, said some of the sacked cabinet members would return.
