The Lagos State Government Monday announced the resignation of its Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Tokunbo Abiru, to take up an appointment as the Executive Director of First Bank of Nigeria Plc and a Board member of FBN Holdings Plc.
Abiru’s resignation, which was formally tendered Monday, but would take effect from August 1, was contained in a statement by the Special Adviser on Media to Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN), Mr. Hakeem Bello.

But speaking on Abiru’s resignation after the state Executive Council meeting Monday, Fashola said commissioner was leaving to take up appointment as Executive Director of First Bank of Nigeria Plc and a Board member of FBN Holdings Plc
He added that the commissioner, who became the state executive council member after Fashola’s re-election, gave commendable service to the state within his short but impactful stay in office.
He therefore wished him well in his new challenge as a director of one of the leading banks in the country and expressed confidence that the out-going commissioner would prove his mettle as a seasoned banker while continuing to bear aloft the flag of the state.
