Governor-elect, Kayode Fayemi, on Tuesday constituted a 32-member Transition Committee headed by Olubunmi Adetumbi, a former senator, with Ayodeji Ajayi as Secretary.

Mr Fayemi announced this in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode in Ado Ekiti, the state capital.

The transition committee, according to the statement, is charged with the responsibility of interfacing with the present administration on the smooth handover of power on October 16.

Mr Oyebode said that the governor-elect would inaugurate the committee on Wednesday.

He said the committee’s terms of reference included: Developing a clear framework for liaison and establishing clear channels of formal communications to ensure a smooth transition; reviewing and making preliminary assessment of the fiscal position of government on the status of assets and liabilities of government.

It will also establish the status of implementation of the 2018 Appropriation, revenue & cash flow position of government, public debt profile of government and their deployment as well as salary arrears due to all public sector workers and pensioners.

Mr Oyebode said the committee would determine the status of public procurement of government, especially government’s on-going and outstanding contractual obligations and receive handover documents from Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government.

He said this was with a view to understanding the most important operational, regulatory and/or urgent issues confronting the incoming administration in order to guide the fine-tuning and prioritisation of programmes and policies in the incoming administration’s agenda.

He further said the committee would interface with various stakeholders such as Labour Unions, Traditional Rulers, Academia, Religious Bodies, Transport Workers, Market Associations, Artisans, Professionals, Farmers and Community Development Associations (CDAs) among others on their expectations.

The special adviser said the committee was expected to submit its reports on or before September 7.

Celebrating Toks Wahab … Omoluabi Eko at 54

 

 

As Tokunbo Wahab turns 54, it is only fitting to celebrate not just the years, but the man he has consistently shown himself to be—one defined by kindness, humility, and a genuine love for people.

 

Yes, he is the Honourable Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, and by every standard, he has done extremely well. His work, impact, and dedication in that office are evident for all to see. But that is not even the thrust of this write-up.

 

This is about the person.

 

A proud son of Epe in Lagos, he carries his roots with dignity and grace, reflecting the values of his heritage in the way he lives and relates with people. TKW… Omoluabi Eko—a true embodiment of character, respect, and integrity.

 

He is a man who shows up. Always willing to assist, to help, to give—without hesitation and without noise. His generosity is quiet, yet deeply impactful. His kindness is not occasional; it is who he is.

 

Those who know him closely will tell you he is incredibly accommodating. Easy to approach, easy to speak with, and always ready to make others feel comfortable, heard, and valued. There is a simplicity about him that is rare—no airs, no distance—just a calm, grounded presence.

 

He gives without announcing it. He supports without seeking recognition. He blesses lives in ways that may never be seen publicly, yet remain unforgettable to those who experience his goodwill.

 

In a world where many complicate things, he remains refreshingly simple. In a space where recognition is often chased, he chooses quiet impact. And when others might turn away, he steps forward.

 

As he marks this new chapter, we celebrate not just his life, but we also pray that God grants him many more meaningful years—years of continued service, impact, and grace to keep uplifting his people.

 

Happy 54th Birthday.
