The Ondo State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Mrs Yetunde Adeyanju, has resigned her appointment after a minor cabinet reshuffle by the state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu.

Adeyanju, who was on Wednesday redeployed from the Ministry of Water and Sanitation, to the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, tendered her resignation letter shortly after Akeredolu announced the reshuffle of his cabinet.

Governor Akeredolu, on Wednesday, announced a minor cabinet reshuffle, where the former Commissioner for Regional Integration and Diaspora, Mrs Bamidele Ademola Olateju, was redeployed to the Ministry of Information and Orientation.

Also, the former Commissioner for Physical and Urban Development, Mr Fatai Olotu Aburumaku, was redeployed to the Ministry of Water and Sanitation, while Adeyanju, who was the former Commissioner for Water and Sanitation, was redeployed to the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.

However, Adeyanju, in a copy of the letter titled, ‘Resignation of Appointment’, and made available to newsmen hours after the cabinet reshuffle, appreciated Akeredolu for the opportunity to serve the people of Ondo State.
