While unveiling the inauguration team, the governor-elect said the committee has been tasked with the responsibility of putting together a seamless transition program that will usher in his administration.

The committee is also billed to reach out to Nigerians in the corporate and political sectors, stakeholders and various interest groups locally and internationally to grace the swearing-in.

Sanwo-Olu urged members of the committee to co-operate and work diligently to achieve their mandate.

He also asked team members to harmonise their operations with those of the outgoing administration led by incumbent Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, and work with security agencies in order to render a smooth transition.

Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, 53, defeated Mr. Jimi Agbaje of the opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) to emerge winner of the March 9, 2019 Lagos governorship election.

Sanwo-Olu has promised to hit the ground running when he assumes the reins, with Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital, fast showing signs of decay with pot-hole ridden roads, improper waste management and a chaotic transport system straddling the city of some 20 million frustrated inhabitants.
