The Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has approved the dissolution of the State Executive Council, with immediate effect.

This was revealed on Wednesday in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan.

According to the statement, the governor, however, exempted two members of the cabinet from the dissolution “due to the critical nature of their duties”.

The retained commissioners are the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr Kayode Ajulo, SAN and the Commissioner for Finance, Mrs Omowunmi Isaac.

“All the affected cabinet members are to hand over all government properties in their care to the accounting officers of their respective ministries,” the statement added.

Governor Aiyedatiwa thanked the EXCO members for their service and contributions to the development of Ondo State under his administration and wished them well in their future endeavours.
