Oyebanji, in a major shakeup, dissolved the state executive council on August 11.

The governor directed commissioners and special advisers to hand over to permanent secretaries or the most senior civil servants in their ministries, departments and agencies.

At the time of the dissolution, six commissioners, including Finance, Works and Human Capital Development, were retained to ensure continuity in critical sectors of government.

Oyebanji explained that the dissolution was aimed at injecting fresh energy into governance, while also reaffirming his commitment to his “shared prosperity” agenda.
