the State Executive Council and 27 local
government transition committees with immediate
effect.
This was confirmed in a statement released by
Okorocha’s principal secretary, Pascal Obi, on
Tuesday.
The Governor has ordered all former members of
the executive to hand over to permanent
secretaries or the most senior director in their
ministries.
However, the secretary to the government, the
chief of staff, chairmen and members of statutory
commissions such as ISEC, Civil Service
Commission, local government service
commission were not affected.
“Also not affected in the cabinet shake-up are the
state universal basic education board, the judicial
service commission, and the house of assembly
service commission.
“The governor also dissolved the 27 transition
committees (TC) of the 27 local government areas
in the state.
“The transition committee (TC) chairmen are
advised to hand over to the directors of
administration and general services of their
respective council areas.
“The governor appreciates the contributions of the
TC chairmen to the success of the rescue mission
and wishes them well in their future endeavours,”
