Governor Oyebanji had, in a major shake-up, dissolved the State Executive Council on 11 August, directing commissioners and special advisers to hand over to permanent secretaries or the most senior civil servants in their ministries, departments and agencies.
At the time of the dissolution, six commissioners including those overseeing Finance, Works, and Human Capital Development were retained to ensure continuity in critical sectors of government.
The governor explained that the dissolution was intended to inject fresh energy into governance while reaffirming his commitment to his “shared prosperity” agenda.
