Mrs.  Akeredolu, speaking in Akure, said 35 percent women in the current administration was not too much. She said more women in government would bring about better performance for the administration.

The governor, who earlier addressed women groups   in his office, said his government would not neglect women in the state. He urged them to “re dedicate themselves for a better tomorrow.”

Other appointments in the Press Unit include Mr. Dapo Aruwajoye as Press Secretary (Electronic Media) and Fisayo Falodi Press Secretary (Print Media).
