According to him, members of the dissolved Executive Council have been advised to hand over government property in their possession to the most senior government officials in their respective offices.

“The State Executive Council has been dissolved. All Commissioners are to hand over to their Permanent Secretaries with immediate effect.

“All Special Advisers are also to hand over to the person who is next to them including the Chief Strategist of the government and of course including the Chief of Staff, the SSG and the Senior Political Adviser.

“The governor, before announcing the dissolution of exco, thanked all members of his government for their contributions both those who have been there in the past six years and those who joined the train two years ago,” Aniagwu said.
