Governor David Umahi has ordered the immediate dissolution of boards, commissions, and development centre coordinators in the state.

The dissolution was contained in a statement signed by Dr Kenneth Ugbala, Secretary to the State Government (SSG) and made available to newsmen on Monday.

However, the governor exempted the governing council of the Ebonyi State University Abakaliki from the dissolution.

“The development centre coordinators are to hand over all government property in their possession including official vehicles, to the office of the SSG.

“This should be on or before the close of work on Tuesday, March 21, 2023.

“Similarly, the boards and commissions are to handover government property in their possession to their parent ministries on the same time and date,” the statement read.

The statement indicated that the government shall constitute a transition committee which will advise it whether to reconstitute the boards, commissions and development centre coordinators.

“The committee shall also advise whether such should be left for the incoming administration.

“The government has noted members of boards, commissions and development centre coordinators who served very well in their various offices.

“Such persons would be accommodated during the reconstitution,” the statement read.

The governor directed the concerned parties to comply with the directive immediately in the statement.
