\n
Gov. David Umahi of Ebonyi on Friday dissolved the state Executive Council after its enlarged meeting at the Government House, Abakiliki.<\/div>\n
\n
\nThe Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr Kenneth Ugbala, made the disclosure\u00a0while briefing newsmen at the end of the meeting.<\/p>\n

Ugbala said the dissolution was to allow the government appraise the performances\u00a0of the different Ministries, Departments and Agencies
\n(MDAs) of government. \u201cThe dissolution was also to strengthen capacity building in the various
\nMDAs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The SSG said the dissolution, which would be in two phases, did not affect\u00a0the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Governor on Religion
\nand Welfare Matters, Rev. Fr. Abraham Nwali.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll other commissioners, SSAs and SAs are presently affected by the dissolution, while 17 others are listed in the second phase of the
\ndissolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe executive members listed in the second phase include the SSG, Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Commissioner for Finance, Commissioner\u00a0for Information and SSA to the Governor on Investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commissioner for Capital City and Urban Development, SA Deputy Governor\u2019s Office, SA on Road Maintenance, Commissioner for Infrastructure for Concession, Head of Service and the Commissioner for Works\u00a0and Transport, are also in the second phase.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SA on capital city, SSA on Finance, SA on Park Development, acting Commissioner for Housing Development, SA Media, SSA Medical and all Personal Assistants to the Governor are also in this category,\u201d Ugbala said.<\/p>\n

He said the dissolution was done in phases to guide the government in taking\u00a0appropriate decisions for effective governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dissolution does not affect the chances of the former EXCO members from\u00a0being re-nominated but the governor wants the best for the state at
\nall times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Also, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Cletus Ofoke, said the council before its dissolution, resolved to send a bill to\u00a0the House of Assembly for the inauguration of a state audit board.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe board will coordinate the activities of the state audit and act as a\u00a0watchdog over all auditing activities in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe council also directed my office to review and evaluate ways of checking\u00a0fake news, which has eaten deep into the state\u2019s fabrics,\u201d
\nOfoke said. (NAN)<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
