Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji has announced the immediate dissolution of various boards, commissions, and parastatals in the state, along with the termination of political appointees.

Statutory boards, such as the State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC), Civil Service Commission, House of Assembly Service Commission, and Judicial Service Commission, along with the governing councils of state-owned tertiary institutions, remain unaffected.
Chairmen of SUBEB, Local Government Service Commission, and Teaching Service Commission will continue their roles, even though their respective boards are set to dissolve. Directors-General and Technical Advisors to the Governor are also exempt from the termination of appointments. Governor Oyebanji thanked the terminated appointees for their contributions to his administration's success and wished them well in their future endeavors.
