Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa said Governor Akinwunmi Ambode submitted Ladipo’s name for confirmation, adding that the essence of the procurement agency was to ensure that the state gets value for its money and attract support from the World Bank and other international agencies.

He, therefore charged Ladipo to contribute her quota to ensure that the state has value for public funds and protects the state interest.

“These are the areas we want you to work on as we confirm your nomination. We cannot slow down business, we must protect investments in the state,” he said.

Responding, Ladipo assured that she would work hard to make a positive impact in the board adding that she would ensure that businesses become more efficient in the state.
