The new appointee is replacing Dr Idris Salako, the immediate past commissioner in the Ministry, who tendered his resignation letter last Monday, barely 24 hours after a 7-storey building collapsed on Oba Idowu Abiodun Oniru Road, Oniru Estate, Victoria Island, area of the state in which six persons died in the rubbles.
Until his appointment, Bamgbose-Martins was the commissioner for Special Duties.
