The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the swearing-in ceremony took place in Abeokuta.
Speaking during the ceremony, Abiodun urged the Commissioners and Special Advisers to be committed and responsible to the people and be corrupt-free.
“You have to prepare for the challenges ahead and see your appointments as a unique privilege, a call to service, and as well reflect excellence in the discharge of your duties,” he said.

Abiodun noted that he had inaugurated men and women of integrity, who would support his government for effective implementation of government policies and programmes.
“We have to hit the ground running as a formidable team and serve the people of the state without blemish.
“See your appointment as a clarion call and render selfless service. We can not afford to disappoint our people. Avoid any activities that this administration will not be proud of,” he said.
The governor, who disclosed that there would still be further appointments, noted that plans had already been concluded for the creation of new ministries, which would be announced soon.
NAN reports that the governor, after the swearing-in, did not assign portfolios to the appointees to indicate the ministries the Commissioners would serve and the Advisers’ portfolios.
