Dissolution of state commissions is a new direction in Edo

The Edo State Government has made a significant announcement regarding the dissolution of all Commissions in the state’s public service, effective immediately. 

This decision, approved by Governor Monday Okpebholo, affects several commissions, including the Edo State Independent Electoral Commission, Civil Service Commission, and Edo State Oil and Gas Producing Areas Development Commission among others.

The dissolution of these commissions marks a new direction for the state government, as it seeks to reorganize and streamline its public service. This move is likely to have far-reaching implications for the state’s governance structure and public administration.

As part of the announcement, all chairmen and members of the dissolved commissions have been directed to hand over government properties in their possession to the most senior public officer in their commission. This ensures a smooth transition and maintains accountability in the handling of government assets.

The Edo State Government’s decision to dissolve these commissions demonstrates its commitment to reforming the state’s public service and promoting good governance. 

As the state moves forward, it will be important to monitor the implementation of this decision and its impact on the state’s development.
