According to Akoshile, the second list contains the names of accomplished politicians and technocrats who understand the current needs of the state and developmental agenda of the governor.

He said that the selection process was rigorous, because of the need to constitute the best team that would serve Lagos in line with the Sanwo-Olu administration’s vision of delivering a city-state that would rank among the topmost liveable cities in the world.
