Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji has initiated a major restructuring of his administration ahead of his second term, which begins on October 16, 2026. The governor has dissolved various boards, commissions, and parastatals, as well as terminated the appointments of political office holders across the state. This decision, which takes immediate effect, comes as the administration winds down its first term in preparation for the inauguration of the second term.
