Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has approved the immediate suspension of all consultancy services and related providers in the state’s public service.
In a communication notice issued by the Secretary to the State Government(SSG), Umar Musa Ikhilor, he asserted: “All financial transactions and related services with affected consultants and service providers are to be put on hold immediately, pending when a Review Committee, established by the governor, submits its report.
“All accounting officers, heads of ministries, departments, and agencies are expected to take note and comply strictly with this directive.”
This directive is a noticeable departure from the workings of the Godwin Obaseki eight years administration where consultants had a field day in all aspects of governance of Edo State.
