Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has approved the immediate dissolution of boards, commissions and parastatals in the state, alongside the termination of appointments of all political appointees.
The affected appointees include Special Assistants, Senior Special Assistants and Technical Assistants.
The development was announced in a statement issued on Sunday by the Governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode, who said the decision became necessary as the administration gradually winds down its first term ahead of the inauguration of Oyebanji’s second term on October 16, 2026.
However, the dissolution does not affect chairmen and members of statutory boards, including the State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC), Civil Service Commission, House of Assembly Service Commission and Judicial Service Commission.
The governing councils of all state-owned tertiary institutions will also remain intact, in line with earlier directives by the Governor.

Commenting on the development, Governor Oyebanji expressed appreciation to the affected political appointees for their contributions to his administration and service to the state.
He said: “I appreciate all the affected appointees for their diverse contributions to the success of my administration and their service to the State.”
The Governor wished the outgoing appointees “continued success in their future endeavours.”
