Ondo State Commissioner for Infrastructure, Lands, and Housing, Engr. Raimi Aminu, has resigned from his appointment.

The Infrastructure Commissioner, who had served as Special Adviser to Akeredolu on Lands, Works, and Infrastructure, cited the demise of his boss for his decision to step down from his position.
Aminu said, “I write to tender my resignation from my appointment as the Commissioner for Infrastructure, Lands, and Housing with effect from today, December 28, 2023.
“This decision is anchored in my conscience as my leader and dear boss, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN, CON, joined the Saint Triumphant.

“I sincerely thank our dear Arakunrin and the good people of the state for the opportunity to serve in his cabinet as Senior Special Assistant on Lands and Infrastructure, Special Adviser on Lands, Works, and Infrastructure, and Commissioner for Infrastructure, Lands, and Housing.”
On Wednesday, the Chief Press Secretary to the late governor, Richard Olatunde, had also resigned along with the Special Adviser to Akeredolu on Special Duties and Union Matters, Dare Aragbaye.
