Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has terminated the
appointment of four commissioners in the State Executive Council.
According to a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the
governor on Media and Public Affairs, Prince Kassim Afegbua, on Wednesday,
those affected included the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftancy
Affairs, Chief Lucky James; and Commissioner for Women Affairs, Mrs. Blessing
Maigida.
Others are the Commissioner for Basic Education, Mr. Patrick
Aguinede; and the Commissioner for Energy and Water Resources, Mr. Chris Ebare.
Oshiomhole, who did not give any reason for the termination of his
former cabinet members, however, noted that his action was “in line with
government’s commitment to strengthen the system towards optimal performance.”
The governor said their disengagement from his cabinet was with
immediate effect and also directed them to handover all government property in
their possession to the permanent secretaries in their respective
ministries.
“The Comrade Governor expresses his appreciation to the former
commissioners for their services to the state and wishes them well in their
future endeavours,” the statement added.
