Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has ordered the immediate dissolution of all boards, commissions and parastatals in the state, while also ending the appointments of all political appointees.
The Governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode, said the affected officials include Special Assistants, Senior Special Assistants and Technical Assistants.
In a statement issued in Ado Ekiti on Sunday, Oyebode explained that the decision was necessary as the Governor’s first term gradually draws to a close, ahead of the 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, the 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 of appointments are the Directors-General and Technical Advisors to the Governor,” he stated.
Oyebanji expressed appreciation to the affected appointees for their diverse contributions to the success of his administration and their service to the state.
He wished them continued success in their future endeavours.
