He is a Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (FNSE), a Member of the Institute of Highway Transportation (MIHT) and a Registered Engineer (COREN).

  • Confirming the resignation, the Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotosho, said that this is a prelude to the restructuring of the ministry and its agencies.
