Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has approved the immediate dissolution of boards, commissions and parastatals in the state and terminated the appointments of all political appointees.
Those affected by the termination include Special Assistants, Senior Special Assistants and Technical Assistants.
The decision was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the Governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode.
According to the statement, the decision became necessary as the governor’s first term gradually winds down ahead of the inauguration of his second term scheduled for October 16, 2026.
However, chairmen and members of statutory boards are exempted from the dissolution.
They include the State Independent Electoral Commission, SIEC; Civil Service Commission; House of Assembly Service Commission; and Judicial Service Commission.
The governing councils of all state-owned tertiary institutions will also remain intact, in line with earlier directives by the governor.
The chairmen of the State Universal Basic Education Board, SUBEB; Local Government Service Commission; and Teaching Service Commission will remain in office, although the respective boards have been dissolved.
Also exempted from the termination of appointments are Directors-General and Technical Advisers to the governor.
Oyebanji expressed appreciation to the affected appointees for their contributions to the success of his administration and their service to the state.
He wished them continued success in their future endeavours.
