Anambra State governor, Willie Obiano, has announced the dissolution of his cabinet.
It also includes termination of the appointments of cabinet members and aides with effect from March 16.
The notice of termination is contained in a circular signed by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, on Monday.
Obiano is expected to handover to the incoming governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, when his eight years two-term tenure expires.
Chukwulobelu explained that those affected include all political appointees, Secretary to the State Government, Chief of Staff, Principal Secretary, Chief Press Secretary and commissioners.
Others are Special Advisers, Chairmen and members of non-statutory boards/agencies/committees, Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants and Executive Assistants.
He stated: “This is to notify all political appointees that the life of the present administration will end on March 16.
“Consequently, all appointees are informed that their appointments will terminate on the above stated date.
“You are therefore advised to handover all government properties in your possession to the most senior civil servant in your office, and the officer should acknowledge the receipt as appropriate.”
Chukwulobelu said the fate of those in tenured appointments such as Managing Directors/CEO, Executive Secretaries and Provosts were not affected by the circular and would be determined by the next government.
“While thanking you for your services, we wish you best of luck in your future endeavors,” he said.
