Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu on Tuesday appointed his son Babajide Akeredolu as director general of Performance and Project Implementation Monitoring Unit (PPIMU).
Mr Akeredolu also named 14 prospective commissioners and special advisers, according to the commissioner for information Donald Ojogo.
The commissioners nominated are Bamidele Olateju (Akoko South East), Adefarati Adegboyega (Akoko South West), Fatai Olotu (Akoko North East), Julianah Oshadahun (Akoko North West) and Dele Ologun (Akure North).

Mr Ojogo dismissed allegations that Akeredolu had handed the management of the forest reserves to a company linked to the son.
Akeredolu had spoken about giving his son a role in the government during dinner to mark his third year in office.
He said no one could stop him if he appointed his son as his chief of staff.
