Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has approved the immediate dissolution of boards, commissions and parastatals in the state, as well as termination of appointment of all political appointees.
Those affected include Special Assistants, Senior Special Assistants and Technical Assistants.
Special Adviser (Media) to the Governor, Mr. Yinka Oyebode, announced this in a statement on Sunday, saying the decision became imperative in view of the gradual winding down of the Governor’s first term, ahead of inauguration of his second term scheduled for October 16, 2026.
However, chairmen and members of statutory boards are not affected by the dissolution. These include the State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC), Civil Service Commission, House of Assembly Service Commission and Judicial Service Commission.
Similarly, governing councils of all state-owned tertiary institutions 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 are to remain in office, although their respective boards stand dissolved.
Also exempted from the termination are Directors-General and Technical Advisors to the Governor.
Governor Oyebanji expressed appreciation to the affected appointees for their contributions to the success of his administration and their service to the state.
