Ekiti gov dissolves boards, drops political appointees

Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji has issued a directive to dissolve boards, commissions, and parastatals, as well as terminate the appointments of political appointees within the state.

While chairmen and members of statutory boards, such as the State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC), Civil Service Commission, and Judicial Service Commission, remain unaffected, special assistants, senior special assistants, and technical assistants have been terminated.
