Akwa Ibom: Gov Eno announces imminent dissolution of State EXCO, boards.
Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State said he would soon dissolve the State Executive Council as well as statutory and non-statutory boards.
Eno who stated this during a media briefing to mark the 37th anniversary of the creation of the state, said such dissolution would not come as a surprise to the commissioners who had given their time and energy to the development of the state.
Recall that governor Eno inherited all the commissioners but one (commissioner of Internal Security and Waterways) and other aides from past administrations, with some of them working with more than three governments.
He stressed that though there was the urgent need to rejig the system which even the commissioners themselves are aware, but in doing so, “it wouldn’t be just waking up in the morning to announce a cabinet reshuffle”.
The governor stated that he was looking for the right and appropriate time to have a valedictory session and appreciate the commissioners and the board members for their immense contribution to the development of the state.
“Both the EXCO and the board, statutory and non-statutory boards are due for dissolution, there is no doubt about that. But it will not come as a surprise, I know that we will dissolve the board and we will also dissolve the EXCO.
